They didn't completely; you can still find a few products out there in glass.
Mianly, glass is out of favor b/c it's fragile, plastic is cheaper and lighter to haul, and people want a larger protion size than an 8 or 10 oz. glass bottle gives them.

Soda companies got rid of glass bottles because glass is more expensive than plastic or aluminum.

Most likely for cost reasons. Also, plastic bottles are more convenient and safe.

To save money. Plastic is cheaper to produce, stronger and safer.
