Curious about the reasons behind its removal and the decision to add a paid upgrade in Windows 8 instead of including it free with the OS. It felt like a valuable tool in Windows 7, so why was it phased out?

It was a rarely used function, and when Windows 8 arrived, those who wanted better options turned to Plex, Kodi, and platforms like Netflix, Hulu, CrunchyRoll, etc.
