I feel like the parts separating had a lot to do with saving the phone as a whole. It must be absorbing and dissipating some of that energy from the fall rather than all that energy being directed into the phone when it stays together.
I remember my old phones would fly apart from a fall but they’d never suffer any meaningful damage.

Also the phones were all plastic, soft and bouncy.
Compare that to a new glass box with a metal frame
Similar to crumple zones on a car, but it can be put back together.
