Much of it is of course about social policing and eliminating competition in age cohorts since despite the fact that people hate hearing it, the dating pool is actually competitive.

About browsers eliminating status bars and the like, I suspect that the stated reasons aren’t the real ones.
The claimed justification is that it “gives more space for the content.”
Most likely the true reason for eliminating status bars is that it makes it more difficult for people to see what sort of calls the browser is making to which sites. For instance since I cannot exist online without status bars, I still see everything my browser is doing.

The real reason that status bars have been removed is so that the users never notice (or notice less than they already did) when they are being surveilled.
