Because it's basically a TMCC locomotive, and Lionel has never sold a stand alone TMCC locomotive with a remote (I said TMCC, not Legacy. I know Lionel sold the Big Boy with a Legacy remote.). It's a command locomotive that can also be controlled with the LC remote. I'm glad they don't come with a remote, it'd just sit in the box unused as I already have two Cab-1s and two Cab-2s.
The only time I know of Lionel issuing a remote with a TMCC product was some sets. I believe the NYC set had one and I'm guessing the SP that was like a sister set as it was identical other than the road name and paint scheme on the engine, the engines even had the same number.
