That's a bit reductive. We're talking about something only relevant to retrocomputing (MacOS 9 is unsupported as of early 2002 per Wikipedia) where they could scarcely find evidence of anyone using it at all. And taking these things out of the standard library means that core devs can wash their hands of it. (It also means that a large majority of users can avoid downloading and storing things that will always be useless to them; but nobody seems to care about that sort of thing any more, much to my chagrin.)
