Why did Serif delete the entire roadmap thread

Without resorting to novella length replies (please!) can someone explain to me how deleting the two roadmap topics has in any way made my investment in time & money in the Affinity apps something I should regret doing?

My own investment in time and money... been paid like by a bazillion factor, if I count on the amount of work both Photo and Designer have allowed me to pull and carry to finished projects, and very happily delivered (for both parts). Even more, the tools helped in fixing issues / covering gaps existing in workflows I had with other apps. (referring now to older projects made with other tools, so, being all in different native formats)

...So... on top of that, if some threads get deleted for moderation reasons (sth  absolutely normal in any community), off topic, attacks, etc, etc (after so many warnings), the investment was already fully covered many times. Even if absolutely none of the planned features were to be included in 1.x (which cannot be the case, as quite some were already added, and, as I mentioned before: for free).
