All homes come with just gutters across the front. We now have gutters all around the home but am not convinced they are a huge plus. When we get a tropical drencher the rain still overruns the guttering.
I don't think it is a cost cutting thing. Both of our new homes here came with just front guttering, one a designer and one a premier.
