You are correct, there is none.

All of the designs that I have seen with bypass can and will allow oil to bypass the filtration element in some circumstances (and often some of those circumstances are when you would not want the bypass to be in effect). Conversely, all of the designs that I have seen without bypass have no option for bypass in the event of needing it.

Pick your poison.
