No random programs are uninstalled. Programs that have bugs, errors, that have not been updated for a very long time and have become incompatible with the new system and programs that require a large volume of system resources (RAM / CPU).
We can say that it is a good thing, Microsoft encouraging by this decision the use of new programs, but we still have to mention that users should have been notified in advance.
