Is this not available on this car? Or just not American models?

Not in the US for a while, not required by law, therefore not offered, I kind of like not having a messed up hood, my 2004 A4 had them, the 2010 Q5 and 2012 A6 did not, neither does the 2017 A4.

No headlamp washers for the xenon or LED headlights on the A4.

My A4 had it since 2008 ! This is regression, not progress.

I think it is a must for areas where there is snow like Canada.

Big deal if you pay extra for LEDs, but if it does not go through the sh_t that accumulates on the lights during Winter what good is it for?

At least it seems to be available in Europe:

Aren't headlight washers notorious for having leaks and burning through your washer fluid like a fat kid through candy?

I've not heard about leaks but yes on the consumption. Also, in the two Audis I had that had the washers, both systems failed right after the warranty ended. I never bothered to repair them since I hated the mess they made of the hood while not doing a very good job of cleaning the headlights anyway.

Never broke on my B5 for the 11 years I own the car.

Still working great on my 7 year old B8...

They also never broke on my B5 (14 years) but it sure drank a lot of washer fluid.

I would turn off my lights when I used the washer fluid to save the fluid. (Headlight washers would not activate- with lights off) Also figured it would keep them working longer.

Not sure if my method of saving a few cents was worth driving down a dark road with my headlights off... I somehow rationalized it in my mind.

I was surprised to find out they were not going to be on my B9. But I guess the dark NJ roads will be a safer place.
