Probably because it's cheaper to make and ship because it takes less space and weighs less.
We have this insane trend of displays, phones and laptops being very thin for no good reason. If you look at reference monitors, they are thick bastards...
Idk why they all insist on the slim form factor. I'd prefer a thicker chasis with vented grilles, full backplane heatsink and some active cooling fans with profiles like a rugged laptop or a gpu.

Well I finally made it to 100K. Personal goal of mine the last couple months and it actually feels like a bit of an accomplishment with PPD being so high on GPU's these days. Not holding a candle to the legendary beekeeper (who's still active...

Would not use the word believe, but I think some stuff are likely to be accurate when they need to planned well in advance and to be told to a lot of people because of procurement, stuff like GDDR7 for example, TSMC being used, etc... as we get...
