So why aren't there any Primaris models with bayonets? Surely at least one of the many LTs would have one modeled?

The loop I think is for a strap. Check with the rifles that have them.

Yup. As evidenced by the Dark Imperium LT, a number of parts on the Intercessor sprue, the Ravenguard upgrade sprue Bolter, the Primaris Captain Bolter, etc., the loop is for a strap.

I believe bayonets do not appear on Bolters (at least the plastic variety) often because they tend to break off. The metal variety of Marine does not have this problem, but still do not feature bayonets, possibly because of mould space limitations (three marines with bayonets take up the space of five without).
