Thorens is a long established company. The cost of developing a state of the art product has to be balanced with the number of units they can sell.. So they stay in business instead of going belly up.
So...
They may feel there are enough buyers of preamps and power amps to make a profit on high end models. But NOT enough buyers of a really high priced phono box to make it worthwhile to even invest in designing one.

Just build what was built in the past using existing designs.

If you think about most systems at this level, I see very few that don't include a turntable of some kind.
In fact, I can't remember the time I saw pictures of ultra high end systems that didn't have a nice turntable sitting somewhere.
But perception isn't true market research and you may be correct. Or maybe in the ultra high end a separate phono preamp is expected.
