I'll admit I'm a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere! Over the years he's produced an endless stream of genuinely interesting videos. I can't really think of any other video hosts that can make a wide range of topics sound so interesting.

Probably I'm just scared of change...

On the flip side though, I'm really happy that he's decided his personal happiness is more important, and has decided to focus on people close to him.

What are your thoughts?

I think his style and content is pretentious and shallow. The equivalent of reading wikipedia. Essentially it is a travel channel with semi interesting scientific adjacent trivia. Nothing wrong with that but let's not claim it is truly a science channel.

I don't think anyone did claim that? Least of all Scott himself. He pretty much always defers to an actual expert when his videos cover a more technical subject, his job is to be presenter and interviewer. The exceptions are typically the computer science ones since he actually does have qualifications and experience there. I only said science and engineering was a subject he covers, which is true.
