The same thing happened with the removal of the menu button on Android. They moved one of the most used buttons from the most convenient spot, right beside my thumb, to the top of the screen. On top of that screens these days are almost all over 4.5 inches, much larger than the average thumb. Same thing goes for applications with drawers. The drawer icon is a far as possible from my thumb making it the least practical design imaginable. I find apps with the split action bar to often be the most practical and convenient even though they don't look as good.
