It was the stupidest idea, but just now, 3 years ago it was amazing idea , now its lets discontinue it and fuck the suckers who bought it.

This is disingenuous. A multitude of people had issue with the Series S and thought it was a bad idea from the beginning. It has less RAM, less memory bandwidth, and a less powerful GPU than the Xbox One X. Now MS is going to have the same issue as last gen, a boat anchor low end console hampering the high end model. Except last time they were trying to make the best of a bad situation. This time knowingly caused this predicament. The pandemic delayed the issue for them or this would have reared it's head sooner.

Edit: MS requires both the S and X to be supported. 3rd parties can't drop the Xbox Series S. They'd have skip Xbox altogether.

Last gen boat anchor were dur to the cpu being underwhelming from the get go. The series S has the same cpu as the series X. Ram and bandwith are non issue since the assets are also les memory intensive unless game dev decide to use 4k assets and downscale them runtime but that would be the case of bad optimization on the dev part.
