Yeah, I think it's safe to assume they would come with coolers.

Some of them do, some of them don't.
The 1700x I just bought for my son came with a sticker and that's it. LOL
It was marked at 150 dollars which to me was a good deal, so I just bought it.
I thought they all came with coolers, but they don't.

Fortunately I was putting a water cooler on it to begin with.

They do, X editions aside. Always gotta check the fine print (or in my case, NewEgg "Specifications" tab) to be 100% sure, about anything you buy. It's not like you're playing the CPU lottery and hoping you get one with a cooler.

And yet, Ryzen 1600X, 1700X and 1800X didn't come with one IIRC: only the non-X versions included the cooler.
The Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X retail packages lack stock cooling solutions,
Looks like you were right. The "X" models apparently did not come with the option of the cooler. Thought they had that option. It's only the non-"X" of the first gen Ryzens. It's the second gen Ryzen "X" CPU's that do. I am sorry about that.

I think in some smaller countries they actually did come with coolers making this whole thing complicated lol.

The cost difference though made buying your own cooler still a much better option as a 30$ cooler still outperformed it.

Oh, ok so they did. Thought I was going crazy for a minute.

Edit; There's this as well;

is a single 1080 Ti enough not to require much more CPU power?
current AMD R5s and intel i5s at stock speeds have no problem pushing a GPU upto around 180FPS. a 1080TI struggles to go any where near that fast in AAA games with ultra settings at 4k. by the time a single gpu exists that can do it 8k will be the new standard for monitors.

I don't really care if I get to 180 FPS though seeing how my monitor is only a 60hz, and since I am playing at 4k it is way more demanding, I am not expecting that much anyway.
