Is it normal for phones to come without a calculator app? (hexbear.net)

I had to factory reset my phone the other day and today I forgot to put the calculator app back on. Being able to use that feels like such a basic tool that all phones should have...but android does not. Outside of calling and texting using the mini-computer in your pocket is what makes these things "smart".

I've only ever had android phones and each of them has come with a calculator app. That's an interesting customization decision by the company that made yours.
