Generate revenue through add-on sales? NO
Generate user data for aggregating and sales? NO
Link to MS Cloud storage for additional sales? NO
Have advertising driven content embedded that drives other sales? NO
Has a watered down, confusing interface that is tough to visually adapt to? NO
Annoys users by changing it's interface frequently? NO
Annoys users by removing common features without notice? NO

That's why they would contemplate omitting it....

Totally fuck you with the tight goose-stepping control of W10 and Office and make you feel good about keeping 30 yrs old program? YES
