Most magicians use dupes in one trick or another, most magicians use them frequently, why don't they come with a dupe?

They do!
they are called. jokers.
Ever hear of them?
Amazing little Suckers.

The only deck that I've seen that came with a dupe is the Guardian, the Jokers are exactly the same, most decks don't come with dupes.
I would assume that they don't come with dupes because it would be more practical for a magician to just get a card from another deck and use it, instead of using some random card and just throwing it in with the deck.
Ah but you are wrong.
Black tigers, Vipers, masters and also 1800's come with the same jokers.
But yeah it is way smarter to pull a card from a second deck
Yeah, but those are special decks. I figured he meant your average Bike, Bee or Tally Ho.
I think the most plausible answer is ... cards were not created specifically for magic.
Maybe people just want you to buy a second deck, JUST for the dupes. There's marketting for ya.
