Still see them on many imports.
As to why my guess is late regulation change or unknown implementation.
With where they are it would knock into the guards and the front bumper to change. Too much tooling money when the small add on fixes it.

My thoughts is because the wheels and tyres got larger with later variants of the AU, a styling trend that probably wasn't anticipated in the original design. My 1998 AU Fairmont wheels were only 15 inch which would have legally tucked into the guard.
