It was an option.
Sometimes, they are working and are not painted over - they just have years of dirt sitting on the face of them especially if car has always or for a long time been only washed with a garden hose.
Jet wash pressure will always get under the handle where a sponge or mitt won't, so they just may be filthy, but if you can't see a light under any of them then it's a 50/50 - either they all have a thick layer of dirt over them or just has not been spec'd at the factory
