I was explaining a similar frustration to a family member who said it’s because there’s so much plastic that it’s a PITA to sort it. Between this and microplastics, we need a return to glass, wire, and cardboard.
As much as I hate Amazon and have reduced ordering from them significantly, at least in my area, they are leading everyone else in using paper packaging with no plastic.

Plastic packing tape and similar has unfortunately contaminated recycled cardboard with microplastics
I like that paper tape Amazon uses. I don’t like their plastic envelopes.
