A thinner bezel is not just cosmetic. A thinner bezel makes it easier to reach the active part of the phone.

(BTW: Am I really getting downvotes for defending the design decisions of both an iPhone and an Android phone?)

yes but isn't that what the asus phone is doing as well? they've trimmed the bezels by forcing the camera onto the screen surface. the ulefone looks to have a chin but was able to get rid of the head. the huawei device looks to be the most egregious chin but again, the top of the phone is pretty thin.

so seems like these phones are copying the design for having a thinner top bezel.

(didn't downvote you.)
