For what it's worth, I think the explanation for this is simply that the use cases needed rewriting, because of the disappearance of the "=>" operator, and no-one volunteered for the task in time for the publication deadline. I think there has been some tendency to orient the use cases to features of the language that need to be illustrated, rather than user problems that need to be solved, but I agree with you that in principle, we should have rewritten the use cases to show how they could be solved without the dropped "=>" operator.
