Why are you surprised? I've seen this coming for a while now. Besides, if Golden Gate surpasses Streams in functionality (which, I believe, it does) it makes sense to deprecate functionality that's merely a subset of another product.

Use Oracle GoldenGate to replace all replication features of Oracle Streams. Also more importantly in my opinion: 8.2.2 Desupportof Change Data Capture Oracle Change Data Capture is not included in Oracle Database 12c and has been replaced with Oracle GoldenGate I am surprised that oracle gets away with removing features and replacing them with extra cost options.
