fork remotes can be added for around 200USD. Rockshox sells the poploc kit which works with the low end tk, toras all the way up to the nice moco dampers. Fox.. not positive, but I think it's available on their CTD series. And pretty much all X-fusion forks with dl2 dampers have it as a factory option/add-on.
For the purpose of hybrid bikes, I really wish the OEMs would come up with something along the lines of BMC micro-travel or Moots softtail technology for the front (using some high durometer bushings to absorb road chatter). I like the bump compliance, but I can live without the extra weight or yearly fork overhauls on a city bike.
