Where do we hear lines of BS that state they are for your own good? It's not that Linux doesn't do this they do, such as x11 being soon deprecated in GTK 5 (GNOME). On Linux that software isn't usually gone, but you may have to take extra steps to keep using it. That is until the demand is gone and it is no longer updated.

Microsoft wants to convince you that deprecating Windows features is a good thing, actually
It's for your own good.
