COVID isn't popularly considered dangerous enough anymore (due to mutation, people's immune systems having some experience with it through prior infection and vaccines, and availability of useful treatments for rarer serious acute cases). The tests also cost money and take time. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't do so in the past, when COVID was more dangerous and more people were more concerned about it. Possibly vaccination status was then thought to be a good alternative for reducing transmission risk, and many restaurants were legally required to check it.
