Bear in mind that actual features are NOT going away, it's just the web-based UI that has been removed with `mc` command staying intact.

To many of us, having a UI is an actual feature, in so much that if there are alternatives to MinIO that comes with a UI, I'd probably move to that.

It's an odd direction to take too.

I can see an individual or very small team using the web based GUI, but a large enterprise client would need automation that's done via the cli.

I think the changelog is pretty clear on that, but I assume for many users this is not a "just" thing and matters a lot. Enshittification started before this change, but now it's really obvious where they are heading.

In my personal opinion, this is a perfectly fine change. The company has to make money. Nudging corporate users (who are incapable of running `mc`) towards purchase of license to have a web UI is a nice solution, I'm all for it.

why mc is needed at all? can't one just use aws s3 CLI with environment variable pointing to MinIO S3 backend endpoint?

You can't create tenants with AWS s3 CLI
