Not that many people care/are aware about the privacy/security issues at stake.
It was too much of a niche thing (i.e. not for iphone's "average" users) and from a big enough player that Apple wouldn't protest.
But it was a complicated and long process to install/configure it. I doubt many non-geeks bothered. So it probably never got any traction beyond a few thousand users. Not worth keeping around at Linkedin's scale.

I wonder if
- Apple told them they had better stop
- Adoption was lackluster
- The privacy complaints overwhelmed any benefit
(or all three)
Adoption.
