My guess is licensing, they probably sold exclusive licenses, and part of that is delisting on other platforms.

I dont think so, they own a lot of these games and IP's outright, and most don't have licensed content. I think they're doing the same thing they did when they removed the Sonic titles from the collection a few years ago -- they're preparing some new title for those IPs, and some of these games will come with, so people will double dip under the guise of cleaning up their offerings
Probably this; I wonder if they're all going to Epic for a few years before coming back.
Or they think they can make more selling some sort of bundle.
