Why are most crypto exchanges not having future market?

I am not referring to perpetual future. I am referring to future market that have closing date, but which you can also decide to close your position at any time that you want.

Bybit has been the best, followed by Binance and OKX.

During bear market time when the market is promising again, some traders may be position holders and be patient till expiration data to open another position.

I have noticed that margin holding is very better than perpetual future position holding for long term traders if there is no future market on thr exchange, but the exchanges are making money from the margin holding.

Well, I think it's  because perpetual futures is more popular and used by a lot of traders compare to dated futures.
Liquidity coupled with low volume could also be another problem, for an exchange to have such futures option, they must be sure to have  enough buyers and sellers to avoid spreads becoming too large. I can say that perpetual features usually have the most liquidity and volume, that's why some exchange likely have the perpetual option.

 The first time I hear about this dated futures or expiration of futures contract was last week when I came across a video on TikTok trying to explain how it works and how price can sometimes experience sharp validity when the contract expires. If this was really that popular, I might have known about it years back when I started trading but I guess there are also a lot of traders like me who didn't know too but only knows about perpetual futures.

You mean most of the exchange or well-known exchange doesn't have many dated offers? I mean, non-perp offers?
On OKX I saw a few of them, mostly in USD-margined and crypto-margined, but none in USDT. It seems this non-perp offers are for investors who prefer date ranges. Usually most of what I hear from those who trade from non-perp are the derivative range traders; like I said, they prefer a fixed duration and the good advantage is that it no funding fees.

I never tried those offers with expiry; usually I use perpetual ones when trading since the only thing I could see an advantage from dated is the funding fees and nothing else.

Expiring futures' prices, unlike perpetual futures' prices, aren't based on the current spot prices.

They are traded at either premium or discount, depending on the market's expectations. Basically they are an independent market hence they need a lot of liquidity and volumes for smooth price action. Not many exchanges have that, and even if they do, such markets oftentimes stay illiquid and unpopular.
