Err, I'm mixing up terms. They didn't really remove functions/features so much as the compatibility went a bit south with the PSX library. And since I gave my (also modded, and still working after 11 years) PSX to my friend's little sister...well, BC was/is important to me.
Plus, having seen the PS2 slim in person, it just felt...flimsier. The build quality didn't seem as good, and I recall hearing about reliability issues way back when.
