5e Monster Manual missing spells?

Hey guys and girls, hope this is the right place to bring it up! Just purchased the Monster Manual and it seems that none of the spells are added to the sheets (I'm using the OGL) Is there something wrong I'm doing my end, or have I just sent $50 on a glorified token pack, as right now I cant see much benifit over just having a template NPC sheet for mosters and draging and dropping the sheets from the compendium free of charge, as I still have to set up spells and macrosmanually both ways, the only time saver seems to be having the tokens? 
Look at the wiki for the MM regarding spellcasters <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Monster_Manual#Notes" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Monster_Manual#Notes</a> Spellcasters: There was an intentional decision made with spellcaster monsters where we limited the individual spell entries down to the most commonly used offensive spells. For those we created a separate actions for each to be rolled from the sheet. We went with this method instead of having an NPC sheet with every single spell inputted under Spellcasting to keep the attribute bloat low to keep your games optimized. That being said, any spellcasting NPC should have all their spells listed under their Spellcasting Trait on the NPC sheet when you do a drag and drop from the Compendium.

FWIW, you might want to look at the Shaped Sheet and Companion. The Companion has a command to expand all spell names into the complete spells. Of course, that will bloat the campaign. But you can also delete all spells with another command, and re-import them at need.

I don't know, but this has been discussed in other threads, and I don't think so.
