Yes please.  It would make sense now to remove it - it will still be
"there" in the code if someone really wants to figure it out but having it
gone would reduce some surface area of application concerns.  Also
vendors have had enough notice on this to have come up with their own
approach.

Expanding this...
I also think Fineract should probably build its own "reference version" for
the same functionality but in a different github at Apache Fineract.   This
would fit better into an overall architecture, where you have the component
using secure methods to connect to the backend APIs and then exposing
different customer facing APIs .  The auth is different for such a
component, as it relies on identity models for the end user, which are
fundamentally different than identity validation for employees of a bank,
credit union, etc
