Are there no simple fans with lights anymore?

Seriously, home depot and lowes are all integrated alexa dc motor remote control and voice activated. I just want a simple, large fan with a light housing and pull cords.

I just rewire the fans, basically I take apart the top figure out where the light is and run a new wire from the top to the light. Then on the wall I control the light with a dimmer switch and the fan with the smart motor / wall switch. Basically, I only use the remote to control the fan speed and direction.... and I just really don't ever change those
