In some markets, having the lights wired on was/is a legal requirement.
My country had the rule for safety reasons, in recent years they dropped it but many manufacturers still seem to sell the hard wired headlights.
I guess if it's just easier to build them the same for every market, cheaper probably too.
Some of our imported bikes just had the light switch still on the handlebars but the actual button was cut off!
Looked dodgy but it was the laziest/cheapest way to make sure they were road legal here for importers.

Not relevant to your original question - but the speedo calibration on the road legal surron is highly optimistic.
You can actually alter the speedo ratio on the display and correct the speed by powering on the bike while holding one of the buttons on the display. I've changed mine from 1.0:1 to 1.1:1 and this is now very accurate as verified with high quality GPS and a measured course.
Stock mine displayed 72km/h once I cut the wire (I never even rode it with the wire connected hah) but in reality it's 65km/h top speed.
