These apps are open source, so a OS developer should be able to forward port the deprecated app into their newer OS release. Kinda fear monger a bit here

Apparently they've been doing this for a long time, because Google haven't been maintaining it. When the forks have submitted improvements upstream they've been rejected. LineageOS has been running its own dialer for years, which many ROMs use.
