The headers are removed, but the ABI is still present in CentOS Stream, so it is not flat out removal. This is arguing about semantics, but probably the difference is that packages in Fedora really MUST be kept in a state where they can be rebuilt at any time, and removing the headers breaks that. It doesn't break existing packages, but as soon as any changes need to be made to any package that depends on those headers (or just a plain rebuild for some other change in the distribution, or a mass rebuild), it *is* equivalent to a removal.
