Its been a while since I flew with a G430/530 but I think terrain is an optional feature. Not many VFR aircraft have it as it costs extra and is not needed.
Good point about the coms on the Garmin , I focused too fast on the King rack on the right
As to terrain , well it is available on a cheap 296 , so I though it would be standard on the 430. I have never seen them without it I must say but I take your word for it .
