If you have bookmarks set for the old site you should update your

Your criticism is invalid, given that the action that has clearly been
taken here is "change my URIs so that in future they're under a domain I
control instead of a domain someone *else* controls".
(Also, given the behaviour of search engines, "Pretty much the only good
reason for a document to disappear from the Web is that the company
which owned the domain name went out of business or can no longer afford
to keep the server running." is a beautiful theoretical principle with
no grounding in practicality.)
