Post RATs on 4 engined a/c

Reading about the A340-600 in Flight, it was noted that it had a ram air turbine, which was unusual for a 4 engine jet a/c. This surprised me.

Given that we have had two twins run out of fuel, plus one 4 engine failure that fortunately restarted (volcanic gas, but I think in this case the APU was able to run, others may correct me), does the absence of RATs on 4s surprise you?
