why battery powered tools do not have wall outlet adapters

Besides pricing reasons for the company selling the item, why can’t people make a female connection from the wall plug into a battery/battery adapters?

Because batteries have a very high current output. Matching a high end battery tool with a power supply is quite simply not really reasonable. Something like a circular saw or angle grinder probably peaks out at about 600-800 W, or something like 40 Amps at 20 V. That’s one hell of a power supply. I’d expect such a power supply to be at least a $100-200 thing. Few would think that’s a reasonable price for what it does, so it wouldn’t be a profitable product.
