Apple tried to kill AppleScript ages ago. But some big groups of users (e.g. pre-press) use it so extensively to automate their workflow that they had to go back on that. My guess is that group is still large enough to take care of that. Also, Apple Events are used extensively for launching applications and documents, handing URLs to applications etc. I'd wager a guess that it would be a lot of work at this point to remove those, and if you have Apple Events, removing AppleScript working on top of it is unlikely to save much manpower.
