Presumably, Apple will remove that option at some point. It's normal deprecation.

Not that I agree they should offer that option, because of course there is no such thing as "gracefully degrading" security.

How exactly do you see browsers operate without it? It's not going away.

It is, actually; just maybe not on a timescale you're looking at things on.

Alternatively we could never depreciate it and use it forever, a much worse scenario.
