Most fish, shrimp, lobster are prepared so that you aren't eating the intestines. The closest seafood-with-intact-intestines I can think of off the top of my head that makes it to the table is crawfish, and de-veining them is a part of the eating process
Honestly I think every time I’ve had shrimp, the vast majority have still had the vein.
King prawns are a bit different - at least they’re large enough for deveining to be practical.
It's probably an American thing. Shrimp here are almost always deveined
