Well, for CS there are other versions still on Steam still with active communities. The issue with CS2/CSGO is skins. That's the reason they had to kill CSGO. They couldn't have skins carry over, be tradable, have the new features skins can make use of, and be able to be earned in the old version and new.
They didn't really "kill" CSGO, though. You can still play it. Just no matchmaking.
Asking people to give up their skins in CSGO and go to a new game was never going to happen. Instead they made a patch and generated hype for the game as a new name, while supporting Source 1 servers. To think that if they didn't do a name change, people wouldn't be whining so much.
