Matthew ....

Why a change of policy? Do they no longer reduce UV, do they no longer
protect the front lens element, do you have more filters than lenses?

For the very very slight retardation in image quality on the down side and
the protection of the front lens element on the upside, why would anyone
want to discard a high quality UV/sky filter costing relatively little and
jeopardize one's lens?
