Why wouldn't someone complain about a reduction in functionality in software they paid for? Do you somehow feel that's out of line?

It's not only that Microsoft removes the features, they also don't tell you clearly they'll remove them but they put almost "malware-like" request on your system for which you already paid to them to "just upgrade it's safe."

Yes they do. The upgrade assistant warns you during the upgrade process[0] and specifically has you confirm it.
