They do. I've seen APAC specific versions where only the Large + sizes have 29er hoops.
Although a trailbike with 29er hoops and 15omm of travel becomes a little unwieldy in anything smaller than large. So there's a case for lots of travel = 27.5". It might not be a great one though, frame designers can make 29" + tonnes of travel work in medium.
Sold my 26" MTB today - sad times. Got the feeling that had I held on to it any longer the 26" 135 QR platform would be so dead that nobody would pay anything for it, despite its awesome slack and Ti.ness.
Why then does 27.5 exist, other than something else for Bike Industry to flog to us?
Easier to design a platform that has a tonne of travel around it. But yeah, anything 130mm or less should probably be 29er, given how long and slack the bikes are all going.
