Modern laptops are getting too slim for ethernet ports. Of course they're not going to include a bulky drive that would reduce the space for battery capacity by 30-40% and is used by almost nobody. I think I haven't seen anyone use a disk drive in a computer at all in the last 10 years, except for the few times I ripped a CD with an old external drive. No, not only Macbooks. My 6 years old Thinkpad doesn't have one and it was completely normal back then too.
