I'd say the manufacturers should sell with clips/straps or no pedals. If the bike comes with no pedals then that gives the sales person an opportunity to suggest clips/straps/spds/atacs etc.
That would encourage the use of foot retention in riders new to fixed. Selling with clips/straps (cheapo nylon stuff would do) gets over the problem of being able to test the bike at the shop too.
