So they were to cheap to put in a metal shield between components and screen.

There is a thin copper plate between the screen and components. In some of the teardowns of phones with these bumps, the copper plate was punctured by the components...

The sad part is the things poking through the screen were designed as leaf springs to keep from the screen pressing onto the components. at least that’s what it looks like.
