Not trying to be a Disney apologist but;
1) you can still buy the Magic Bands, they just are not free anymore. Also, any old Magic Bands you have still work. We used them on our trip a few weeks ago.
2) Magical Express was never "free", it was always included in the price of your room, or in the case of DVC your MFs - as was parking, and few if anyone ever used both on the same trip. TECHNICALLY we should see reduced MFs - we'll see.
3) I did not miss FP when we went 8/2020 as the lines were all short and almost no one was in the FP line. Now there are LOTS of people in the FP lines and lines are long. I will avoid the discussion about who is in those FP lines, but suffice to say there are a lot of people taking advantage - I'll leave it at that. That being the case, maybe some form of FP with a lot more enforcement of who should be in those lines is long overdue. Beyond that, agree with what OP said - the cost is a money grab and I don't appreciate that. "Pay for cuts" only really costs the people being cut, not Disney (or 6-Flags, or Cedarfair, or Universal). Sorry Disney, thought you were better than that.
4) I've never stayed in BCV so can only take your word for it. Maybe try BWV? I seem to recall it still has both.
