Good counter-example. There are some in other sectors, like Zara in clothes: they never do any marketing either. Unfortunately it is not so common.

If I tell my company that we should just rely on word of mouth they would find it very funny. I can assure you that we have some of the best products in their categories and we do most of our business over the internet; should we just wait for customers to come to us?
