Because they want to only make TV panels, and if they can make monitors all be the same as cheap TVs, then they can make the monitors cheaper.

TVs want to be 1080 high to show films, which are usually even wider than that, so even on a 1920 * 1080 display films have black lines above and below.

It's all about aspect ratios, of which there are many:
