It wasn't intentionally discontinued, just the maintainer didn't update it in time and so Ubuntu 15.04 ISO media shipped a wubi.exe that only worked to install

  Without mentioning any names, yes, I had a hard time getting in touch with one of the maintainers back then. Burn out is real. Wubi also had a dependency on grub4dos which had an idiosyncratic development and release style, to say the least. It was also the only component developed by non-English speakers, which made communication very hard. Later releases had some major regressions that were never sorted out, and I think everyone involved found it highly draining to deal with these issues without a more fundamentally correct way of tracking and preventing regressions.
