Because the oleophobic coating can still get scratched easily which looks horrible, and also it eventually wears off which means your phone eventually looks like a fingerprint smudgefest. At least with a screen protector when that stuff happens, rip it off and put a new one on. I've been using the ESR ones that are like 10-12 for a pack of 2 including an installation ring which makes install extremely easy. I can install in just a few minutes with zero dust or alignment issues. It used to take me 30 minutes sometimes to get one on a Plus/Max sized phone due to misalignment then getting dust under it try to fix it etc. I find they last about 3-5 months before the coating shows wear in the heavy swiping areas (mostly cause I swipe type with GBoard).
