Biggest loss if/when Old Reddit is removed would be RSS. Browsing the site otherwise is painful.
Truly feels like the management's intent is to run the site to the ground, creating animosity any way they can.

You have to manually type "old.reddit.com" rather than www, and soon that too will be gone.
Extensions too. I have the Firefox one.

It's still there for me.
Edit: also, that was an opt-in to the redesign, not opt-out, in old reddit. The redesign has the opt-out, and your screenshots are clearly old reddit.
This Firefox addon still works... but I don't know for how long as Reddit are really forcing people into their "modern" and slow design: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/
I don't think that option toggled the UI, in fact I don't think that option did anything for quite a while.
It's always been working for me. Did you have cookies disabled? Since the setting was stored as a cookie. In fact, the cookie is still working for me right now.
It worked, about 6 years ago.
Then I found that it kept "accidentally" getting reset "somehow" and dumping me into New Reddit, how strange.
