Putting aside the need to port code from elsewhere and not exist in your own private universe, this is a bit like saying remove the filesystem APIs because we have a database. Both are valid things to keep around. Given the choice there are still lots of instances where you would pick the former.
I'm aware of this and it's rational choice, but whata opportunity. They (just maybe) could also add compatibility layer on top of something else, like other projects do, but nvm.
