No chase policies aren't uncommon. They're not universal but they're not uncommon.

Given the rarity of chases, the danger they pose, and the lack of benefit in most cases, the guidance is usually to not bother unless there's reason to believe there's something like a kidnapping or murder.

Or the cop will fire blindly through the back windshield of the car. Luck of the draw really.

I'm in Oklahoma. They might not chase a motorcycle here, but a car. For sure.
