BMX race bikes often have only one brake, at the rear. And for a race bike, there's no need to be able to spin the handlebar - so no gyro.

But of course, you could have one installed - if you wish.

Or you could set a bike up with only a front brake. In which case you don't need a gyro either - you just run the brake through the steerer tube.

Why do people take off their front brakes on BMX bikes?

Race bikes usually only have a rear brake and bikes for vert/street usually haven't got any brakes at all. Dual brakes is sensible on a bike that sees some utility use, like being ridden on roads, but removing the brake will (to some) make the bike look more "hard core", or "cooler". And, if you haven't got a rotor/gyro, removing the front brake will let you do barspins w/o the brake cable getting tangled up.
