How come Ground isn't telling me to contact Tower, once I get to the hold-short point?

In the U.S., especially at busy airports, ATC generally will not tell you to contact tower. It's an implied handoff once you arrive at the hold short poinrt. You are free to switch to the tower frequency on your own. However, if you enable Student Pilot mode, Ground will generally tell you to contact tower.

Outside of the U.S., a handoff to tower should happen as you approach the runway. Just ask for it if not.
