Probably lazy "repair" people not replacing them decades ago.

I almost never see any 57C, 58C or 59C sets which still have their metal backs. On the other hand, a stock 54C will not operate without its back as the 54 incorporates a safety switch which the back holds depressed (closed). Without the back, the switch goes open and the radio will not operate.
