The first factory rods I used with alignment dots were the Scott "G" series from the 1970's.
My Sage SP and SP+ rods have the dots, newer Sage models do not,,,, XP & TCR models.
The low end made in Korea TFO rods also have the dots. I have a 12.5ft spey rod and two 7wt rods by TFO.
All of my custom made rods have alignment dots, I like them for convience.

FK
