They aren't dropping Witch, they never added it in the first place. And it's a reasonable decision even if the reasoning is retarded: combining witches and warlocks into a single subtype means that any future Warlock tribal card will have a larger pool of creatures that it interacts with.
Removing Druids and Shamans would be much worse: both are subtypes that have already been printed on cards, which already have tribal synergy cards that care about them being Druids or Shamans.
My mistake - the type was abandoned at some point prior to 2005, so the Witch-retyped-as-Wizard didn't show up when I was looking for Witches retyped as Warlocks.

Clarification, they had the Witch creature type, they just dropped it in 2019 so the Witch part is old news
