Regen braking can be done by being blended in on the brake pedal. This gives a near identical feel as driving a regular car, where it doesn't really start pulling power to the battery until you press the brake pedal. Once it reaches its max draw it starts to bring in the brake pads.
Many EVs make single pedal driving modes optional, with some of them not even really having it as a feature at all. Some just essentially have it like its just a medium level of engine braking but will never come to a complete stop on its own.
Regen braking is a big part of why EVs and hybrids can be as efficient as they are; they capture all that energy that normally bleeds off as heat when you're driving around the city. Since I've established you can still have a normal accelerator/brake feel as a regular car while still having regen, what reasons would you have for not having it?
Also, I'd highly recommend actually giving single pedal driving a decent shake before fully judging it. Its incredibly nice just being able to control my speed with a single pedal instead of having to use two pedals to achieve the same end result. And then when I take my foot off the accelerator, I'm fully stopped without having to hold down a brake. I get many cars have an "auto hold" feature but I've yet to feel one as smooth as cars with good single pedal driving and I just can't seem to trust it in the same way.
