My read is that they aren't (yet) proposing defunding the data, "just the maps" e.g. visualizations that make it accessible. Nothing (yet) stopping a public-interest project from hosting the same information on an open platform.

"design, build, maintain, utilize, or provide access to a Federal database of geospatial information"

From my perspective that says they cannot even create the data, let alone give anyone access to it.
