Simple reason : Better ammo....the "cocking-piece" gave the rifle an EZ way to effect a re-strike.
Ammo wuz not always as reliable as it is now...brass wu not hi-quality and primer technology wuz young.
By & large re-strikes aren't needed any more...and besides that, the lack of the "cocking-piece" improves
lock-time and streamlines production.
