Why aren't the manufacturers like Specialized including tubeless on their Mtn Bikes?

they are very few shop mechanics though set up them like that to leave the store because well of their bad experinces with them

But if I still have to use the sealant, then why get the heavier tire in the first place.

you do not have to do anything. Its just to make the tire unstoppable. The best tire from a durability stand point I have used was a 26 UST tire with sealant. You could put a nail though it and it would seal.
