Shouldn't cyclocross bikes have cross brake levers?

I am toying with the idea of getting an entry level cross bike as a "do it all" type of errand bike. I like the drop bars but I also like to use the cross levers when I am in city areas. I noticed that both the Trek Lane and the Kona Jake are both missing the extra cross levers??? am I seeing that correctly? Aren't those extra levers one of the key components that makes a cross bike a cross? Is it strictly a money issue for them? I really don't think I should have to she'll out for adding levers that should already be there. I don't get it?
