Likely because early CRT did not have implosion protection band and other features preventing implosion.
Gyro:
Yes, the front screen went with the introduction of the external implosion band (and colour) - which also provided the mounting points necessary for the more modern 'pushed through' appearance.

That "pushed through" appearance is bizarre to me, I've only ever seen it in pictures of some UK/European TVs. I've never, ever seen a CRT TV in North America that didn't have a bezel around the face of the tube.
