But why warn, why stop supporting it at all?

Because the removal of widely used things that worked fine caught on for some reason. Apple has been doing this for a while now. Jack, USB, ESC key, whatever else I cannot recall.

I am with you as far as the headpone jack and escape key, but I am more than happy to embrace the USB-C only future. The main problem is peripheral manufacturers are slow to catch on.

I wish I had my HDMI and SD card ports back though.

Um, it caught on because there isn't room for 200 ports on the side of a computer. Eventually you sometimes have to ditch old standards to move on to newer, better standards.

Btw, Apple's reportedly putting the Esc key back on the new MB Pros. And they still have an audio jack. And they still have USB.
