You are joking aren't you? I have heard of SDS drills that don't chisel
but never seen one, even in a shop.

They *used* to be the norm, but I'd think you'd have to try hard to find
one these days.

I bought my SDS drill just before they entered the DIY market.
There were two cheaper ones available then (i.e. under £100),
possibly aimed at DIY use, which I did look at. One didn't have
rotary stop, and the other did have rotary stop but didn't lock
the chuck against rotation, and it would tend to move round whilst
you were using it. I didn't pursue them and don't remember the makes
now. With fully functional SDS drills now available sub-£50 for
DIY use, I can't imagine these products exist anymore.
