software removing options because it’ll confuse users

They remove (relatively) unused options because it takes time and money to maintain them and they're always a source of potential bug reports. My least favorite example of this is all my music apps getting rid of list views (text-based rows where you can see 15-20 options on the screen at a time) in favor of thumbnail views where you only see a couple of options at a time.

how is it easier to maintain a list of thumbnails than a text list?

Its not, its probably relatively the same once the app is all slapped together. What's harder is maintaining both instead of just the popular one.
