Because as a brilliant foresight, Sega included built in memory, so that you never had to buy a memory card if you didn't want to (Playstation?). It was battery backed and the same battery ran the clock (some games used the real time clock too).

the only problem was, that when the battery ran out, your saves were lost

Either that or for tectoy to pick up the Dreamcast for production in brazil.
