Lots of single engine operators around here are just "single pilot - single engine - VFR". It's the most basic certification level. They get it so they can call themselves an air carrier.
It happens.
Also, at my last employer, we were allowed to operate VFR. Normal ops were IFR, but VFR if it was operationally beneficial was allowed. No flight plan, just VFR with a sectional and the cargo.
