They recently started disabling MV3 extensions automatically but you can still enable them back in Developer Mode (probably for a few more months until the code is fully dropped). On my machine they were disabled about 3-4 days ago.

They started disabling the old MV2 extensions.
MV3 extensions like uBlock Origin Lite are even recommended on chrome store

Oops, I meant disabling MV2 extensions. Unfortunately my comment is not editable anymore.

For me it was removed 3 days ago, and around 70%~ of my friend group had it removed around the same time.
Swapped to firefox not looking back.
When was it removed? It's still on the chrome web store, and google's docs suggests they were removing manifest v2 extensions as early as October last year, so if they launched premium lite any time in the past 4 months, you could have plausibly claimed "Coincides suspiciously with the removal of uBlock on Chrome".
