I think the Expanse and Cloud Atlas did it, are there any other good examples?

It's harder for people to follow, subtitles don't help everyone, harder for the actors to get right and keep consistent, etc.

It's just easier to let the actors speak 'normally'.

It's basically translation convention minus the overt indication that it's a translation.
