It used to be there prior to iOS 11 as it was easily accessible until iOS 11 was released around September of 2017.
But did you also know that the iPhone X was also released in late 2017 too? It has an OLED screen as well.
If you recall, high brightness could cause screen burn in for OLED screens if the user kept their display at the highest brightness possible for whatever reason.
Apple most likely made the Auto Brightness hidden under accessibility so that way users don’t ruin the OLED screen with the iPhone X and later. Otherwise there was no issues with iPhones with LCD screens at high brightness.
As for Auto Brightness being hidden away under Accessibility settings, here’s the link for the source.
