Why do some 3D printer beds require turning knobs on the bottom for leveling? (lemm.ee)

On my ender 3 I have to turn the knobs on the bottom for leveling.

I just picked up a Bambu Lab P1S and it doesn't.

Fundamentally, what is different that allows the P1S and other printers to get away without it?

I think some people do take them off if they have CRTouch and decent spacers, but the wheels still work as nuts, and then, neither CRTouch nor an Ender style bed is perfect, so if something is real wonky it can be good to make a few adjustments before probing. The Bambu was likely designed with ABL in mind, and at the price they're charging I'd also expect a little more fit and finish, LOL.
