They didn't drop it at all. They changed from a fixed release schedule to a rolling release. As a potential dev environment, this is a huge improvement. RedHat and CentOS tend to be running ancient versions of tools and apps in the name of stability - not what you need when you're developing new things.
As a point of clarification: CentOS Stream is not a rolling release, it is a release with "rolling updates". That is only to say that there are no longer minor releases every six months. That's pretty much the only significant change. As a consequence, CentOS Stream is still going to have the same "ancient versions" that RHEL does, overall. Stream will get updates destined for RHEL a little earlier than RHEL gets them, but it's not going to get updates that would be unsuitable for RHEL.
For development systems where you want very contemporary packages, Fedora is a good choice. For production systems where you want more conservative updates, CentOS Stream is a good choice. For systems where you want a support contract, RHEL is a good choice.
