Who suggested getting rid of it?

It provides an environment, running under Windows, that resembles a
typical Linux desktop environment. I use it every day myself, because
that's a valuable thing for me. If it's not valuable for you, that's
fine. (I also use WSL for some things.)
I use a lot of programs that happen to rely on a POSIX interface.
Cygwin lets those programs run under Windows. Modifying those programs
to work more directly under Windows would be a tremendous amount of work
that nobody is going to do.
