Sounds like the kind of deprecation that can be possibly fixed with an automation. And I can see why is Archive Today considered harmful.

Archive.today apparently hijacks visitor's browsers to DDoS a blog that tried to uncover the identity of the archive's admin. UBlock helps to stop that script.

An archive site that alters content in the archive is worse than worthless. The DDoS is just confirmation that the site is actively harmful.

Deeply saddening. Archive.today was a great resource, and stored a vast repository of human knowledge. As the internet turns to slop, we need sites that preserve the history of the web more than ever, and it’s very disappointing that the team at archive.today has failed us so profoundly in our hour of greatest need.

No. They think that relying on a hostile archive will ultimately harm Wikipedia. They know the shortcomings of the other options.

It's not that they aren't as good, necessarily. More that the others do less "grey-hat" stuff, and therefore are less likely to cause harm or alter the content they host.
