Any ATM attached to a bank does let you deposit, actually. In the states, mostly just in envelopes that are counted later, but in China, they actually count and verify the money in place.

I would imagine that there are more ATMs unattached to banks than attached, so saying "most" ATMs don't take deposits doesn't seem like a stretch to me.

As for deposits, modern ATMs in the US will count bills and also scan and deposit checks immediately without envelopes.

TIL! I haven't banked in the states in about 9 years, so I'm horribly out of touch.

Newer US atms will also count and verify money in place, both cash and checks.

Some, not all.
