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.
