It would be rather annoying if they did, and you could not disable it. MIDI-Out and MIDI-Thru are distinct functions.

It can be very useful, for example, like this (if the keyboard transmits midi in to midi out):

midi-controller-with-lots-of-knobs(midi out)>>(midi in)keyboard-with-no-physical-controllers(midi out)>>(midi in)sound module

That sound like a midi merge requirement.

Useful yes, as long as it can be turned off, channel mapped, etc. Otherwise it would probably cause more problems than it solved.

Keyboard controllers that route midi in to midi out port
