Because reviewers started obsessing with zero bezels and thinness, so manufacturers had to also maximize those things.

I saw a laptop review where there was a hole punch camera, so no mechanical shutter. The yt personality thought that was stupid, so they asked the manufacturer what they were thinking. "Our last product had the shutter but you gave it a poor review because the bezels were too big. We designed for smaller bezels to get a better review"
