I can relate to your frustration.  I think it is stupid that printers are
sold without printer cables, as well.  (Like you're going to use the thing
as a stand-alone unit!:-))  However, I think the rationale behind what
Xerox has done is that if a customer wants to buy three scanners and
does not need three copies of the docs, then they can give a price break
on the units sold without docs.  I don't think it's a good tactic but
I can see a glimmer of logic behind it, faint though it may be...
