I'm quite surprised they fired Soghoian in 2016 rather than assign him elsewhere within Apple when they decided Automator wasn't worth it anymore (despite that they still have a page for it here: https://support.apple.com/guide/automator/welcome/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/automator/welcome/mac).
