Touch interaction support in our libraries has always been limited, and implemented in a way that we came to regard as technical debt. The latest library releases remove support for it without (immediate) replacement.
For a long time, we regarded touch interaction as a shaky, experimental feature. As browsers evolved it still built on top of an abandoned external library. It was not heavily used, and not fully working either. With bug reports piling up over time, but limited incentives for us to invest, we decided to drop that aspect of our libraries. So at last, we removed the (broken) touch support, and some legacy in the process.
