My app uses ImageCreator to allow customers to generate images on-device, and provides a custom experience for doing so. I can see that ImageCreator is now being deprecated without a replacement for programatic image generation.
Why has the ability to generate images programatically been removed?
I had the same question. I created a game that I was about to release that uses the playground API to create images based on a description that I feed it in the game. The phone created the image, and allowed the user to go in and customize it to their liking...even adding their own avatar. Now, the user has to open each image in playground to get it to create. I create 81 images per level in the background and as needed...it was clever and now worthless. Why would they remove something that worked like that?
I can’t really answer the main question here [1], but I wanted to call out that we have a specific Developer > News post about this, namely, Deprecation of the ImageCreator class.
Share and Enjoy

[1] I don’t actually know, but even if I did I’m reticent to answer why questions. See tip 3 is Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips.
