"mobile data services offer many gigabytes of monthly downloads"
Be that as it may, Lite Mode has many advantages and there is no real reason to remove it.
It's like saying "the price of gas has fallen so low, we've stopped making economical cars". No, you don't stop saving data just because in India they have great mobile data plans. I have a budget of 4.5GB/month - normally more than enough. Recently, there was a storm that cut my fiber connection for three days. Working from home, I used up a total of 6.8GB during that time, with a nice 70% increase in my phone bill for that month.
Keep saving the data, you never know when you might need that.
Besides, less clutter on the backend will do good for everyone.
