How come it's weird?
Because it means you either have to get silverware involved, or have to dunk your fingers into hot tea.
Don't you need to do this anyway even if it has a string, as you'll need to squeeze the bag at the top of the mug to prevent unwanted drips. Chances are you're making a cup of tea in a kitchen and a teaspoon will be within arms reach.
Going to go out on a limb and say continental Europeans tend to drink tea without milk so don't need to use a spoon, that makes having string more important
nah just lift it out, give it a shake and let it tap the sides a bit before a swift transfer to the dustbin.
edit: the little packaging the teabags might come in can be used for transfer as well.
