Rear wipers are not standard equipment on vehicles that have a near vertical rear window, like an SUV, which gets soiled during inclement weather. That practically blocks rear visibility and contributes to rear rollover accidents, as well as collisions with other objects. Most if not all SUV's can have a rear wiper installed as an accessory, so making it standard will be very easy for the manufacturers. In February the president signed into law legislation addressing rear rollover accidents, and this requirement should be added to that bill.
