The reason they gave for removing it was twofold. It was a drain on CPU performance, and most players didn’t like the fog.
Since then, hardware has become more powerful and the player base much larger.
Instead of Mojang constantly removing features, I’d love to see them start adding lost ones back.
@somemintbunny@ibxtoycat The early game fog gave Minecraft an eerie feeling when playing solo. It also led to the creation of many creepypastas.
There should at least be an option to enable the void fog.
