I believe it is a money issue plus the fact we get no Hurricanes here. They trim the palms in southwest Florida to keep the hurricanes from blowing the dead material all over, and they look better in my opinion.

They do look unkept. They can be trimmed, but this is the "natural" look - and cheaper.
Those are Washingtonian palms aka Mexican fan palms.

The Cabbage Palm is aka Sabal Palm, that's Florida's state tree, they may have a few dead fronds but their fronds fall off, so it doesn't get the unkept look.

PS - the unkept part is sometimes called a "beard" but there is no bearded palm as someone noted.
