Support for Frostbite?

I was just wondering why there’s so little support for Frostbite. I searched through the classes and from what I saw there isn’t a single Frostbite node in any of the passive trees. I just find this weird since there are quite a few for ignite, bleed, poison and shock.
There’s also no general affix or idol for it. Mage has 2 affixes and 3 idols and Primalist has 1 idol, that’s it.
There are plenty of skills that have support for it in their tree, which is why I looked for it, but I just don’t get why there’s barely and support for it outside of skill trees.

Edit: Oh, and I have 1 more question. Does frostbite applied by a skill scale from that skills damage in the tree? I know hit damage doesn’t scale it but what about general damage, like Ice Barrage’s Biting Cold or Cryogenesis?

Yes, general damage on a skill would scale it.

There are a few skills that have some nodes that apply Frostbite, the Spellblade’s Shatter Strike being one. Though there aren’t many skills that do, that’s true.
