To be fair in modern phones there are some features that if removed would make the user experience better. None of these are that though. This is just another case of Google being Google.

Yup. Google consistently gets rid of features or services that it deems unprofitable. And that's fine, really - as long as you don't pretend that you're doing it for the users.

I hear ya - for example, the SIM toolkit being able to send you pop-ups (phone providers use that to spam the users).
