High end santacruz and ellsworth, and probably some other frames come anodized.

Anodizing doesn't hold up very well, even wet paint is more durable, and the icky chemicals probably add to the manufacturing expense, cost money to dispose of, and require specialized attention where as wet painting or powdercoating frames is pretty easy.
