My guess is that a lot of these features are hard-coded, and they are deprecating them in order to replace them with a more generic LLM-based assistant.

And despite how bullish everyone seems to be on LLMs, I suspect we'll see those very same LLM features get ripped out within 5 years or so.
If this was the case, wouldn’t had been better to axe these features once they were ready to roll out the new LLM-based functionality?
No you see, this way they can't easily roll back if the LLM functionality sucks and that's somehow better
Perhaps, but it seems like a strange approach. I would assume they would retain these features and then gradually replace each one with an LLM-based approach.
I really hope that this is the case.
