Some quality phono stages still have subsonic filters. The Pro-Ject Tube Box springs to mind, with the latest edition it is switchable, while in the original, there was no switch, just a permanently in circuit subsonic filter.
My current phono stage has two options for EQ curves (IEC and RIAA). The IEC curve slowly rolls off the bass, so that it is down 3db at 20hz. This performs a similar function to a SSF, without the switch and circuitry involved. Works quite well for me.
But I do agree, there are not enough phono pre-amps with SSFs built in. It is especially important if you are the type to use flea-powered tube amps. All that wasted power producing warps and rumble could be redirected into music!
