Oh, it's a gripe, not a question.
You may dislike the decision all you wish, and we may even all agree
with you, but griping here will not change anything.
This was an intentional change made by Debian, and they are proud of it.
They even documented it, and told you how you can achieve this
no-text-log-files state after an upgrade from a previous release:
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#changes-to-system-logging
As with many of the unpopular changes that Debian embraces, this is a
decision they made, and no matter how utterly daft and ridiculous it is,
no amount of griping by users will change their minds about it.
