I get your point, but most does not mean all, and hardening is all about adding layers. https://insights.sei.cmu.edu/cert/2016/11/windows-10-cannot-... is a complete review of the mitigations we are loosing.
The EMET mitigations which are no longer supported have either been depreciated because of better ones (control flow guard) or are not terribly effective (EAF/EAF+, use of debug registers).
