Most people don't go raiding their freezers for a snack in the middle of the night

It all comes down to cost/benefit and features. While it’s not terribly expensive to add a light, sealed fixture, switch, wiring, etc. relative to the cost of the whole unit, it does cost something and manufacturers want to save every dollar they can in the cost of manufacturing their product. Studies have shown that people don’t open the freezer nearly as much as they open the refrigerator and certainly not as much for “browsing”. Ice-cream sandwiches and similar items aside, when people open the freezer, they are generally going to be looking at getting something out that takes some further preparation. So the kitchen light will probably be on anyways. Thus, the benefit of having a light in the freezer is much less than in a refrigerator that often gets raided at night, to the point that manufacturers would rather save themselves the money of putting one in, as most people don’t really care or notice whether their freezer has a light or not.

Think about it, do you know without looking whether your freezer has a light and, if not, have you ever found yourself wishing it had one? (Note: I didn’t know and had to check! It did but it was burnt out and I never noticed! Further, last time my refrigerator light went out, I felt something was off immediately, but couldn’t put my finger on what exactly until that very night when I didn’t have the light on in the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. I then realized the problem instantly with the refrigerator, but never noticed with my freezer. You win this round Ed and refrigerator/freezer manufacturers.) :-)

A lack of light in low end models also provides a low-cost, easy to add, feature that can be tagged on to help up-sell certain people to a much more expensive model, with salesman convincing you that you should care whether it has a light or not, even though you probably never cared or thought about it before.
