They should let them co-exist but probably they figured out it is just easier to kill V2 extensions all together. What a shame.
and just conveniently, X has some features that the owning company doesn't like as it is antithesis to their business model. Therefore, by replacing X with Y, and touting some performance improvements (which is real, but marginal), they get to remove X with plausible deniability.
