SharePoint Meeting Workspaces

Why did Microsoft remove one of the best functions of SharePoint? For those that's been in SharePoint for as long as I have and used (and abused) out of the box functionalities to the maximum, you would understand my frustration. Grouping content according to meeting dates with specific events synced to Outlook really simplified work so much for end users and was the catalyst in moving towards paperless meetings. Now we are on version 2016 and SharePoint online, where most customers have been forced to upgrade by unscrupulous vendors and IT consultants. There was no need to change meeting workspaces. Now the same Is about to happen to InfoPath.
