Perhaps a light wouldnt work under the extreme conditions of a freezer :D

There's no reason other than it would cost the manufacturer more to include one. I guess most manufacturers decided that you'd only go to the freezer a few times compared to a refrigerator, but I can see the advantage of having a light come on when you do !
I don't think a light bulb is affected by low temperatures, at least not the ones you find in a household freezer. Car headlamps work perfectly in sub-zero temperatures, so do normal 60W house bulbs. And what about the ones you hang outside at Christmas ? High temperatures are the same, for example the lamp in the oven or the microwave.

Because when you are still sober, you are looking in the 'fridge. You can use the light. When you are blotto from the brew you took out of the fridge, and hungry, it don't matter what you get out of the freezer, as long as it is edible. Plus I believe that a glass light bulb, going from 32 degrees, or less, Fahrenheit to incandescent in a heartbeat, would blow the bulb. They do have commercial freezers that take this into account, the bulbs ain't cheap. Home stuff, they need to keep cheap.

Midnight snacks...don't have time to thaw freezer food, so only a light in the fridge is necessary :)

Because the whole purpose of freezing things is so that they stay frozen. The heat that would be emitted from a light bulb in a freezer would cause problems.

i agree with tifany, light is electrical, and if you put it in the freezer, it will burst if you happen to defrost, and the ice will kill the light. so the fridge is upright and ice will go straight to the bowl if you happen to defrost the ice.
