These are available. From what I remember the contacts at one end of the tube are short circuit so the result is that full mains voltage is applied to the other end of the tube. I think they may come with dummy starters.
I modified all my fittings to eliminate the ballast, starter etc. It does mean that you have to insert the LED tube the right way round though. You can't revert to flory tubes either.
I too like day light LED tubes. They've really brightened up the work shop and don't grow dimmer as they age.
