Why not?

It felt small-minded to generate obsoletion warnings for external packages that now have to make their code uglier in order to avoid that if they are particulate about a clean CI, especially if they compile with byte-compile-error-on-warn (which I often do).

The warning doesn't tell them anything useful; the semantics haven't changed. This is in contrast to the variables made obsolete.

Does this reasoning make sense? I could revert the change.

I don't have a strong opinion about it, but that's how we usually do 
renames: without changing semantics, mark the previous name as obsolete.

I suppose the alternative is to wait for ~6 years until it's reasonable 
to drop support for Emacs 28 in third-party code? And then mark it obsolete?

You are probably right. I'll revert to marking the old name obsolete, unless someone comes with a strong argument for not doing so.
