My point is that there is only one champion that actually likes live Trinity as his premiere mobility item (going in depth in the fourth paragraph). Even Olaf prefers Cleaver.

Trinity needed to change its niche. Now it's much more tuned for the caster type ADCs and Gangplank than for Fighters. I actually think it could have been done in a better way - it costs a lot more than other Zeal upgrades, and why the hell should an ADC build health as their first/second item? And why buff Gangplank anyway? - but it needed to be done. I would have opted for Trinity Force's remotion in favour of a Sheen + Zeal item and another Phage upgrade, but Gangplank players wouldn't agree with me.

Xin Zhao won't build it anymore. Irelia and Jax will probably prefer Guinsoo now. These are actually things I like - being outrun by one those three doesn't feel fair when they already have such good dueling power. It's a buff for Nasus who, according to people, isn't doing that well right now - it's not what I think, but this is not the right page to discuss it.

However, Udyr may be going to hate his life now. Though Udyr players usually AFK farm all the time, so I can see him get a Plate when he finally decides that he's farmed enough. Doesn't he build BotRK too? And what about Stalker's Blade? If these and other items are not enough, it may be time to pick up those MS quints again. But his problem is getting to an enemy, not sticking to them, and Plate grants 60 MS compared to Trinity's 26 to 28,4 out-of-combat MS.

Let me rephrase it: champions were reworked, items were reworked, new items showed up. All of this made Trinity unneeded for most champions who used to buy it except for one, which was already a problematic champion before anyway. I'd say this is the sentience behind this decision. I'm not a Rioter so I can't say for sure, but you can ask them directly if my answer isn't satisfying.
