While I’m not quite sure about the exact reasons for the removal, here are some probable guesses:
On the last point, it’s probably not for something better or standardized, It’s gonna be to push the AI captioning and dubbing.
I’m sure auto-generated captions will work great for channels like Primitive Technology where there’s no actual talking and the subtitles are describing what he’s doing…
What have auto-generated/AI caption contents to do with the general format captions???
YT has auto-generated captions now for years, so why would they remove an unsupported, internal format because of that?
It prevents AI summaries of the video from including all the video content. Obvious solution: remove the information missing from the summary from the video itself. Now they match! /s
