Most light twins are not required by certification to be able to climb with an engine inoperative. They only need to demonstrate what the performance is.
There are some, yes. However, these aircraft are bound by other burdensome crashworthiness requirements, which probably make it more attractive, both for design and marketing, to simply design the aircraft so it is capable of climbing away on one engine.
