I assume it's mostly to keep weight down. I imagine it could also make manufacture easier/cheaper; you'd need most of the board for the circuitry anyway, so why spend more money a separate piece for the chassis? Also: I don't know if you've ever tried to break or cut a circuit board but it's pretty tough stuff for its weight too.
