The Manhattan Project gathered a bunch of scientists in one (or, mostly at one with a few satellites) place with a very specific goal in mind.
This is just giving money to some companies so they can do something AI related.
If they're leaving the two titles in, then they have to keep supporting the functionality. Sort of weird that they're deleting the other titles if it doesn't let them remove the relevant code.
If a title is not doing well, I guess the idea would be to stop paying residuals, but that would seem to be more of a case-by-case basis, rather than removing these as a group.
