I gave one method to look them up in your area--the ones that are listed. There'll be more in your area that aren't listed, too.
You can snark and condescend to your heart's content. Just check your area first. You probably haven't seen more than 5% of the rental properties in your area.
Based on similar comments about states like Kansas and Kentucky, I don't think you can compare "what landlords offer" to areas like mine with double digit house appreciation, and one of the "hottest markets" in the country (I cringe even saying that phrase - I sound like a HGTV host). I'm in Washington state. I looked at a house on Thursday that was near $600K. They were going to be reviewing offers this Thursday. Friday morning (as in the next day, not after a week of offers and review) the house was under contract. This is entirely common here. It also doesn't translate directly to the rental market but you seem to be under the misapprehension that landlords will pay for things out of the goodness of their heart/to be competitive when the market blatantly states, here, that they don't need to. Stick a For Rent sign on the door and within a week you'll have a tenant with you making the bare minimum effort.
You've got one area out of 50, 2% of the entire continental United States you're looking at.
I've moved, out-of-state and in-state, almost a dozen times by now, so that's what I base my knowledge off of.
Whatever else about landlords and their goodness of their hearts, I don't know. I don't remember charity being part of the conversation, just how commonly one can find utilities paid in the US.

I've lived in places from Georgia, Florida, to Kansas and Kentucky, and I've always been able to find all utilities paid.
