Not an expert on any jurisdictions laws re. bicycle safety but given the number of global-spec bicycles I see without pedals I don’t think that’s is the case - maybe it’s just if they do come with pedals they have to have reflectors?
(Hence most bikes that came with clip-in pedals had plastic platforms that popped in.)
*edit: bikes that are assembled in the box (not just frame and all the parts) always come with reflectors. I know this is to comply with US law but it could be other jurisdictions as well.
