Pretty sure they save materials, time to assemble and "space" by gluing instead of using replacable parts.
I guess your theory is that it is all malice by the manufacturers?

Glue has its own issues including degrading with temperature - which doesn't really happen to bolts/nuts/screws.
The specific standard would hopefully begin to address the issue with throwaway culture and planned obsolesce (there is min 2y warranty in the EU for all electronic goods, though). I dont care if a company save less than 1euro, making something that costs hundreds/thousands virtually useless for any minor ceramic capacitor that fails.
