Screens are smooth and decidedly fragile compared to the rest of the chassis. You especially don't want to put much if any pressure on it, which you might need to do for a firm grip.

You also probably don't want to put too much handgrime on the screen, further incentivizing an unsecure grip.

Seriously, big bezels are great. I don't care how great something looks as decor if I can't handle it practically.
