They can't expose such a feature, at least until they're sure that their results are better than Google's in most cases (otherwise it'll be like shooting themselves on the foot).
Besides, a userscript that does what you want could be written very easily I guess.

Perhaps, but here I am: a potential DDG user who is instead using Google because of this missing feature.
They could of course put a nice privacy warning next to the Google button. Or they could label it "!g" to avoid using Google's name.

I thought of making a "!g" bookmarklet, but I wouldn't know how to deploy it on mobile (Firefox).
This feature would make me switch to DDG.
(I tried DDG, but got tired from typing "!g")
