Apple fits a camera, a lidar, and god knows what other sensors on the front of a phone in a notch that's three times thinner than the one on its own laptops.

So yeah. They could have a thin bezel. They deliberately chose not to, even if it eats into the precious little space of the top menu bar.

It looks like the iPhone is about 2-3 times thicker than a MacBook lid. I'm not sure they actually have the space to put iPhone equivalent hardware above the MacBook screen.

The module itself is very thin: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+12+and+12+Pro+Teardow...

I believe they could've quite easily reduced the bezel width.
