Well it's not like the privacy filter is installed to all LCDs
permanently, there are still many LCD applications where you
specifically want a good wide viewing angle. That's why a privacy
filter is removable or electronically switchable.
A similar story with the anti reflective and anti-glare coatings that
engineers spent a long time developing and perfecting. Notice how you
can still mostly watch an LCD TV even if you have a bright window
directly in reflection - that would be almost impossible with CRT.
However someone decided to then market a "glossy" LCD (which is actually
simpler and cheaper to make) and many people prefer it.
