Here in the UK all the phones I've bought have had the FM radio my last three were the Galaxy S Advance, the S4 Mini, and my current G3 has it as well.

But there are downsides the main one being they need to use the headphone cord as an aerial so I just use the App Tunein Radio Pro it gives me all my local stations and stations from around the world all over internet and I prefer it for the choice and the fact it gives a lot more info on what's actually playing at the time.

I guess the FM radio is something that may come in handy for some people but I really wouldn't miss it to be honest, that said I see no reason for phone networks to ever disable it that's just not right.
