Why there is no autosuggest by default in windows and Mac?

Question

Have you guys felt the need to have autosuggest in windows and mac. I sometimes feel frustrated typing the same thing again and again. The autosuggest feature the way we have on the code editors should be present in every field.Do you use anything for autosuggest?
