They’re less prevalent because it’s more expensive to do really well now, at least with modern cars. You’ll really only see it in dedicated communities. I can’t say if they rely on faceplate removal as a security measure though. Security measures have gotten much better since then.

Every car in the USA made since 2018 is required to have backup camera from the factory.
So since every car has to have a screen for the camera, auto makers figured they may as well use for the stereo system.
