And I think telling that to the user is absolutely unfair and against the
spirit of Fedora.

The dilemma is, how to allow the useful stuff to remain, while preventing the accumulation of non-functional abandonware, especially since one person's trash might be someone else's treasure. It's not good when cruft accumulates, as it gives Fedora a  bad name and wastes people's time when they stumble into unsupported packages that stop working, like in this case:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1490074

An 'unsupported' warning of some sort could be actually a good thing. Perhaps such warning could include a count of unresolved Bugzilla cases against the package in question.
