I think it was because so many folk read the paper in the loo and it was then sent to the chippie to wrap the fish and chips!!! (Unless it was put on the nail in the loo; very good use in Covid times when the loo rolls were not available).
Now we all take our phones/tablets or whatever to the loo to consult the same "Health & Safety " issue doesn't arise but also no where near as many newspapers are sold!
