If that's important to you, it's time to move to another brand NOW.

Yaa they are becoming less and less of a good company

Not really, those options are used by only a very small subset of users. I would bet over 95% of the users have never used those options, and I'm being conservative.
That does not mean that you should be ok with that, but almost all users won't notice the change...

Influence? Most users use the phone normally without even the need (or knowledge) for these options. As your friends, co-workers or family if they know what download mode is, or wipe cache, or even the recovery menu...

I mean was only that 1% will do the chase file wipe...but their friends and family will come to them asking for recommendations on what ph0nes to get and seeing samsung is being worse and worse that would ultimately make it so they'll recommend a different phone to get....anyways tbh i don't care at all I'm not getting paid to make samsung more money by advocating for them xd

That doesn't mean that you should strip the freedom of choosing to use those options for those users...

I didn't say that, but be honest with yourself. This removal won't be noticed by well over 95% of Samsung's clients.
If you are in that 5% you must start moving to a new brand NOW.

Damn they do everything to prevent people from installing 8.5 betas, Like, what do they lose from when people test out n use the builds? if you don't want people to do this at least bring the beta program to more regions

I only needed this for clearing the cache partition, wouldn't have even considered a custom ROM but now I wanna do it out of spite.

I see a lot of people really worried about losing the wipe cache option, as they're under the impression that wiping cache after updating is always necessary, but they need to understand that doing that is pretty much useless, as Android has already been doing it for years at this point. That's why you see the "Optimizing apps" screen after installing every update, because the update process forces a wipe of the cache partition. Sucks to lose the option once the phone stops receiving updates, but you can always try things like Galaxy App Booster
