A major reason for using the horizontal deflection to make the high voltage is when the horiz fails, the high voltage also goes out, avoiding a burn spot dead center of the CRT. Also cheaper, you just use a bunch of fine wire on the horiz output transformer instead of a separate system. Also horiz derived high voltage is less unsafe than the old brute force 60Hz supplies were.
