I am not sure why you imply that there was some evil scheme behind all this. He didn't imply or say there was some evil scheme, and this reads like an attempt to play the victim card on your part. If no one uses the functionality is the reason for getting rid of it, then why add it back in? I seems like a lot of useless busy work to explicitly claim that no one uses something only to replace it.
