I've noticed the same thing. It's usually artists who've got an extensive history of bad business or bad behavior. I can think of a few very notable names who have a no refund policy.
Personally, I'd never pull the "no refund" route. It looks shady, it is shady. If artists are concerned about cancellations, they could do partial refunds for work completed on it or try to keep money in their bank just in case.
