Webscraping forum-sites is a lot of work, as you have to keep up with
every little change.

The websites that are making money on advertising probably don't have
much incentive to not break access methods that effectively bypass their
income.

Oh, and people who use such systems are probably not the most
forgiving/grateful people you can find. I suspect they are likely to
bitch and moan, rather than do some work to solve the problem
themselves.

99% of the net population think it is good enough/don't care?

Someone recently suggested that apps were nice for corporations like
that because you can do anything with the users data, where browsers
have at least some amount of user-centric protection.

I said no such thing.

I can speculate on why they were removed, if you really want: The code
did not work anymore, and nobody was interested enough in the
functionality to step up and fix it.

Maybe people interested in slashdot comments are more interested in
ranting than doing work fixing code?

Maybe the answer is to spend the time doing something else? :-)
