Why would you sell your gear? Canon is most certainly still going to offer optional extended warranty packages on purchases. They arent going to make you pay for warranty service, only services outside of warranty.
The change seems to reflect the original intent of the program itself, supporting businesses and career photography in fields that would actually need regular service and repairs, expedited, to keep businesses operational.
Of course, it's also a matter of appreciation. I'm already into Platinum status.
In the last few months I had to realize that my membership points were decreasing for inexplicable reasons and were changed from Platinum to Gold status before I bought the RF 400 2.8.
It was a unique selling point of Canon - at least as far as I know - to offer corresponding added value via the service.
As a financially strong private owner I’ll have no access to this theoretical service in future.
That is regrettable.
Especially since sensor cleaning and a careful, quick repair should be a matter of course in this price range anyway and you shouldn't be relieved of paying any extra money.
On the question of why I would sell my stuff.
Well, I am at least considering it.
I get the impression that Canon only values you as an entrepreneur. I, with my equipment of about 25k euros, am just second class and not able to benefit the new strategy - at least that's the first impression.
Sometimes it is funny to read what arguments are found for the manufacturer. Ever thought about the fact that it is precisely not the target group that has brought Canon to where they are now. Or is Canon only for professionals anymore?
