That's true, they are easier to sell. It's maybe odd, but whenever I see a smaller tractor without an FEL they seem wrong, as if something is missing. My first tractor was a 1939 Ford 9N. No FEL. I used it so much with the bush hog and drilling holes with a post hole digger. Then I upgraded to a 1980/81 Yanmar YM2310 with Bulldog 285 aftermarket Front End Loader. I am amazed how much better of a tractor the Yanmar is with that FEL. I had no idea how much I would use it. It is so useful. I also have a Case 580CK backhoe. It of course has a Front End Loader, but the machine is big and just isn't useful the way my smaller Yanmar is for smaller jobs. Especially with the huge backhoe hanging off the back that I always have to think about hitting stuff. I use my Yanmar way more than my old backhoe and the FEL is one of the reasons why.
