Ceiling Fans Have no Wall Switch

So? I know you’re not asking a question Roy. Just make your point. Yes, a wall switch is required.

The pull chain works, especially on older homes

Until recently the NEC only required a switch controlled lighting outlet or receptacle, but did not require the switch to be in the habitable room. It also did not require a luminaire to be installed at the outlet either. All the switches could have been elsewhere in the home.
