A photographer usually doesn't have the duty to do this either. You can certainly ask them to do it but the pricing will be higher. The photographers I know delete their source files after a certain amount of time and only keep the end products in the state they are in.
This is quite equivalent to the software that you build, you get it in the state it is in but if certain things change you need to pay more or agree for something else. A good developer/company will talk to you about it, how to manage the lifetime of the application, for how long their support goes and what it implies afterwards.

Similarly, a lot of companies will insist on keeping a copy and the rights to the source of software they pay people by the hour to write.
