Because one is essentially a feed of data, and the other is obviously/openly being manipulated based on things that I did not choose. The fact remains that removing that option is problematic. They switched the default - fine, makes sense. To remove the basic time ordered feed just shows they aren't interested in allowing users real choice.
I largely mothballed my facebook use years ago - so I'm not a user they should optimise for. But probably have bailed at that anyway.
