Thank you for pointing this out.
I have mixed feelings about this.
Sequoia no longer runs daily, weekly and monthly "maintenance" scripts. I'm assuming that's because the logs that those scripts used to clean up no longer exist.
If they eliminated those logs, they have done away with a valuable tool for figuring out what is going on when your Mac is acting strangely.
On the other hand, runaway log files were a not-insignificant problem for a very few users. One that was hard to figure out unless you found someone who recognized the situation. No log files means no more runaway logs.
