That's a shame. I don't use it a lot, but it's contributed to my photographic memories over the years. Quality was never amazing, but it could make for some fun pictures.
A somewhat related feature I miss that Google dropped a while ago is Cardboard Camera.
It basically took panoramas that also included a short clip of sound, which made for some fun "relive the moment" style picture/videos. It's a bit different from video, and was especially fun in the "turn your phone into a VR headset" short-lived experiment to teleport yourself back to a moment in time. They still work in Google Photos and there's still the little cardboard "VR" mode button to view them, although I imagine that'll silently disappear at some point.
Edit: As pointed out below, the Cardboard Camera functionality is in the official Google Camera panorama mode now (under settings when in that mode).
