do they even sell them that way? More SKU's for a smaller market
Yep, Shimano sells them that way, pre-bled in all four configurations (R/F, R/R, L/F, L/R), so I imagine others would as well. I had to replace a broken lever recently so I got to research the topic.
Though as you note, cutting a hose to length is simple enough and the required tools/olive/fluid are easily (and fairly cheaply) obtained.
