 Because the APIs are deprecated by Apple so they would have had to be removed/changed soon anyways, especially when an alternative (which is the default now) is already available.

AFAIK they cannot remove API from released SDK, and users may choose to use it even if it's not latest and greatest anymore.

They can and have before. Anyways, it doesn't matter. The code was unused, untested, and was in the way of other things, so its removal is inconsequential.

Also it caused build failure on tvOS/watchOS.

 The changelog contains this entry:

 - [QTBUG-45031] The NSURLConnection backend of QNetworkAccessManager has
   been removed, since SecureTransport is the default SSL backend on iOS
   and is enabled by default. This means that building with -no-openssl
   -no-securetransport will no longer provide SSL capabilities on iOS.

 WTH? Why are we removing options in a patch release? What happened?

 Is the backend so severely broken that it needed to be removed?
