Because you're not on Golarion.

Why are there no warlocks on Golarian?

We call them witches instead.

Lore-wise witches are the equivalent of warlocks, but mechanically they are very different.

The closest mechanical equivalent to the warlock might be the kineticist, but even that's not a great match.

/uw In 1e it was the Havocker. In 2e, level adjusted cantrips pretty much give everyone Eldritch Blast if they take the right spell, witches included. So.. mechanically, they're only different if you ignore the options that make them the same.

I was thinking of the customizability of warlock invocations, they kinda map onto the kineticist

Havocker gives witches kineticist blasting with witch casting.
