if that's true then SPV clients are on a dark path. using methods such as what Electrum protocol provides is cool and convenient but it has a very big flaw: it lacks privacy. and that's something bloom filters could improve.
i feel like this is another feature that was (partially) removed from core just because it has flaws, instead of being improved.
IIRC, there were some noise about how deprecation of bloom filter could be detrimental to the SPV wallets. I concur with their statement that given the current node distribution, there should still be sufficient nodes available for SPV client for now. I believe that bloom filter have some fundamental privacy issues that can't exactly be solved. Efforts has been made to introduce new standards such as BIP157 and 158. I think it's still a good direction in forcing SPV wallets to be receptive in changing out bloom filter for something better.
