What conceivable reason would they have to remove this kind of important functionality? I don’t understand.

The article says the indicator was unreliable, and a notification will be issued only when it is critically low.

It may not be permanent, or it may have been done for other purposes.

Improving AirTag battery life is the first thought that comes to mind for me.

I don't see how that's possible. The Airtag pings the Find My network periodically anyways, sending battery life along with that data cannot possibly be that detrimental to battery life.
