don't you need a photo-id anyway as a pilot flying in the US?

"Photo ID" and "proof of citizenship" are not the same.

That said, I was not aware of any requirement to carry proof of
citizenship. Many US and Canada citizens both have never been issued a
passport, and certainly do not travel with their birth certificate,
and yet they are permitted to cross the Canada-US border freely.

If there's a requirement to carry proof of citizenship, it's new.
There never was one the last time I flew between the US and Canada
(which admittedly was quite a while ago, and well before 9/11/01).

Proof of citizenship was always required to cross the border.

Whether or not every inspector enforced those rules is a different matter.
But I doubt if any inspector will let you pass without proof of citizenship
now.
