Most do, obviously excepting older vehicles. It's mandatory per Federal law in the US since the 2007 model year, and I believe the 2014 model year in the EU.

Still, in the nearly a century prior people managed to deal with unexpected flat tires and slow air leaks even without such electronic geegaws just fine.

And my truck is a 1999. And none of my motorcycles have TPMS, either.

And yet, neither of us are dead.
