They haven't. Nasab or Patronymics (i.e. Ibn X or Bin X) are still a common part of most Arab names. The addition of the family name after the patronymic came in the mid-1600s and 1700s as increasing exposure to Europe brought the trend to the Arab World.
In today's world where having six-word names (Given Name son of X son of Y Surname) is seen as overkill, most Arabs simply abridge their names in non-official contexts as Given Name Surname. This is not that different from Hispanic individuals who will often not say their mother's surname except on official documents even though that is part of their actual name.
