Parcel shelves in small hire cars in the US

Not sure what you expect to leave in the parked car's trunk that this feature would be necessary and where.
But the answer is yes it is common for hatchbacks in the US not to have one because a lot of people find it annoying and may have removed it themselves. Having said that. The 2017 Ford Focus the shelf like that may be an optional equipment but it is definitely available:

This happened to me too, in California. I had a lot of luggage, so I was rather annoyed -- stuff does get stolen from car boots, and two large suitcases can look very tempting to a thief. The car was pre-paid too, so I couldn't go elsewhere.
I complained, they said they had nothing else in my bracket, I said I can't drive around displaying my assets like that! In the end they offered me a decent discount on the next bracket up, which I accepted gratefully.
In short: I don't know if it's common, but it does happen. Those shelves are often ridiculously weak, and I expect they just throw them away if they get broken.
