That implies that they were there in the first place. For some IDEs the refactoring are essentially rename, and buy JetBrains AI plugin.

Then don't complain about them going away?
I didn't complain about them going away. I complained about using LLMs upsell rather than implementing refactoring like they used to for their previous IDEs (e.g. IntelliJ).
You did, actually.
I complained about them no longer being added, not being removed (at least not yet). Look at CLion refactorings, compare this to IDEA and Rider that preceded the LLM enshittification.

For C++, there should be quite a few refactoring on the count of it being OOP like Java.

Even IDEA and Rider didn't add any new refactorings, despite Java advancing quite a bit.
