Because speakers screwed into plastic housings will cause the plastic to shake which (I guarantee) is not the sound that you want.

And because, as I wrote, they are an afterthought. There's only one tiny speaker per channel, and one that has a range of about 500-5000 Hz, no dedicated amp, etc, etc, etc, etc. They're a perfect example of how to not output sound, ever.

In the case of monitor/TV speakers, they will also (after some time) obviously affect the actual picture output so that you get color aberrations from the introduced magnetic field. If you ever turn them on. Removing them reduces some dead weight, so that's what you do. Always.
