Why don't laptops have a proper carrying handle?

ISTR having a Compaq laptop in the very early 90s that did, and I think a
few other vendors around that time did, too. I suppose it was one of the
first things to go to save bulk/weight, the theory being that people only
ever have the laptop on a desk (or lap) and carry it in a bag otherwise.
