Why are there no handle-less pec deck machines anymore?

Is there a reason the old, handle-less pec deck machines have fallen out of fashion? the ones where theres typically a cylindrical cushion where your elbow goes, simply trying to converge the arms across the body, you can see them in old Mike Mentzer and Jay Cutler videos

all I see nowadays are the ones with handles, where you execute them with extended arms. the old ones seem so much more comfortable, and i’d imagine theres much less bicep and shoulder activity
