Why no ND filter in Lumia 1020 ?

Its trade off between amount of light and details coming into the sensor and color correctness and long exposure in heavy strong light like daylight anyway for me when you can mod your grip to attach an ND filter I choose more light and more details.also we have RAW.

I think most users wouldn't have much of a use for an ND-filter. It'd be mostly useful for doing long exposures, particularly when it's bright out. Assuming that it wasn't fixed (a permanent fixed ND filter would be more of a hindrance overall) it would also add more moving parts in the phone, making it more expensive and add another point of failure.

I suppose you could always hold or strap a filter in front of the camera or camera case... It might be somewhat inconvenient, but it'd work.
