Imo superglue is a shitty glue - it's far too strong and weak at the same time. It's strong in the sense that if you glue two thing together, you're unlikely to get them apart without damaging them.
At the same time, superglue's brittle, meaning if you handle objects that were glued together, they're eventually gonna come apart in your hands. There's a reason smartphone screens use some special mystery glue not CA.
The problem with acetone is that you can't really get the solvent to the surface that's glued, since that's often inside the object, so it's really tricky to use. It's also toxic and attacks basically everything that's plastic or painted, resulting in a lot of damage.

They get around this by not bonding the screen directly to the chassis with the glue, but having the adhesive carried on tape.
