This point has already been made, but you do in fact see ALL the base morphs in the wild. That is where they come from. Albinos, pastels, spiders, cinnamons, mojaves, lessers, butters, axanthics, caramel albinos, enchi, etc., etc. If a genetic mutation happens in captivity, it CAN happen int he wild. Of course you aren't likely to see the combination morphs in the wild, but that is just an odds game.
On a related note, do you feel the same way about other animals? Say, for example, dog breeds? You certainly don't see Chihuahuas or Bulldogs 'in the wild.' What about production animals (pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, etc.)? Just some food for thought.
