That was a idiom. PS/2 (just like the jack) has some advantages over the "replacement". Also some disadvantages of course. While your phrasing implied, it is entirely superseded.
That's like assuming I want bicycles gone because cars are the "replacement".
Absolutely everything has advantages and disadvantages. That doesn't mean that we should keep every option out there.
The advantages of ps/2 are basically nonexistent compared to its disadvantages. And that's not true for audio jacks.
