Why don’t hotel front desk get breaks?

It seems to be an accepted and common thing for hotel front desk staff to not get breaks or even an unpaid lunch. Expected to eat interrupted and not have a break. And it’s legal… What I don’t get is why? Yeah sure there can be some downtime between customers but that’s not technically a “break” because it’s not Uninterrupted, cashiers have a similar job and still get 15’s and lunch break. My job makes an exception for me to go home once a week and let my dogs out for 20 minutes (25minute total clock out time) when I work morning shift and just that 20 minutes where I’m not having to be on alert for guests and can relax makes the shift so much more bearable and honestly feels a LOT shorter and I really wish I could have at least my 2 /15’s most jobs give you…
