Why didn't sunshades come with the pano roof?

I've seen several pano roofed cars, including my own, all without sun shades on the side windows, which come with the moon roof if I recall correctly. Any ideas why?

I can't speak for the E Panoroof (I have the moonroof with the manual sunshade on my 2003) but the new R Class Panoroof option has a dual electric sunshade to cover both areas of the panoroof. See pictures.

I would think that the sunshades would be necessary unless the E panoroofs have very heavy tinting.

E class with pano roof does have sun shades, both for front and rear are electrical.

window shades on the side and rear window--not the pano roof.

I think the side window sunshades are a completely different issue from the pano roof. I have the pano roof and didn't want or need the side window sunshades because I live in a cool climate.
