I can't speak for "all" but the 3 I have handled over the last year all had washers (well, not really a washer but a rubber edged disk with metal in the middle and a tiny hole) that you pop out. The 2 my sister just got which were very expensive "decorator" models were the same. They made a very noticeable difference in water volume/pressure from the shower head.
Sometimes you think you need to drill them out but if you take a small sharp pointed drywall screw and screw it into the restrictor hole 1 turn then yank on it it pops out without needing to drill.
