Where do you fly where ATC doesn't give you the
setting on initial contact?

Almost every class B, C or D airport that I fly into. If on my
initial call, I give them the proper ATIS code (and the setting hasn't
changed). They have no reason to tell me (and everyone else) the
altimeter setting on initial contact. That's why ATIS was invented.
It reduces frequency congestion.
