Another useful feature for power users that Google is killing.

They don't care about us that day they we have a problem and the solution is in a now defunct site. That doesn't generate revenue. "When People search on Google they need to find what they need on a click on the ads", the shareholders are saying

I use cached pages a lot, thanks Google.

Same. All the time actually. To get around annoying work blocks, or site vpn blocks (looking at you reddit when i actually have to venture to your shite hole for a specific tech question) or simply see content as it was crawled. Internet archive was always my primary but google cached i used alot. I just noticed like two days ago the cached button was gone for newer pages

Only new Reddit employs the VPN block. If you visit old.reddit.com, you can use the page without being locked out.
