You are considering only one aspect of a complex decision they have made. It costs real people-hours to maintain any software. Is it the best use of the time of some very capable people? Like, they might develop some software instead that will save your life a year from now. Then you would think differently. We should stop telling others what they SHOULD do. (Crap I just did.) Anyways, why not contact Google and offer them to pay the costs of maintaining every piece of software they ever decide to deprecate? Or just go on and build a better browser if you can.
