Engineering is a matter of trade-offs.

So, how do you screw a thin piece of glass onto a phone that doesn’t have bevels to speak of in such a way that you can put it into your pocket for years, and push a finger on the center of the screen tens of thousands of times without breaking?

Also, if there’s room below the screen, the screen will bend more than when there isn’t, and that will affect longevity.

I’m not claiming using glue wasn’t done out of malice, just that we can’t say it is.
