Some thermostats simply don't have a terminal for hardwiring power and can only be powered by batteries. Why manufacturers make them that way I'll never know.
I didn't build my house I guess the builder went cheap. It couldn't have saved that much.

It's not just cheap ones though. There are actually quality thermostats with sophisticated features that are batteries only. Maybe it's an international thing? Who knows.

Seems a combo would be nice so you might not lose your settings after a power outage.

I've seen thermostats that are battery powered in multi million dollar houses, I don't think it's a cheap vs non cheap thing.
