Taste and smell are governed by the Olfactory system. Which is located in the upper Respiratory System. The nose basically.
So some degree of loss of taste and smell occur in all respriatory infections.
It's just that normally the other symptoms are so bad people are too busy feeling crappy to notice.
If anything the fact that people are noticing is just further evidence that COVID-19 really isn't a serious illness.
