I wonder if the sound reduction is a result of computers moving into more and more spaces, rather than relegated to a single dedicated area. Beeps and boops going off all the time can be really annoying in public spaces.

Highly likely, though I still think the Nintendo Switch should have had sounds. Maybe computers should restore a dedicated mute switch or something users can toggle when they are in a quiet space.
