There is a product for every one, and one ______ for every product. Like small wind turbines - the existence of an alternator equipped pedal bike doesn't make them a good thing compared to other choices.
With human powered vehicles (which have a century and a half of smart people refining them) efficiency becomes something worth a little nit picking. For the extra weight of an alternator you get what? a way to exercise harder? I will settle for a tube slipped over the chain to keep clean and call it a day. Now I don't mind a bit having a wall charged battery on an ebike. That does make sense.
