Why remove time skip progression?

In a cyberpunk update they removed the ability to time skip to get to the next mission, like Judy or Panam’s, faster so now you have to wait in real game time for them to pop up. This update is just to punish re-players right?

I can’t see how this is beneficial to anyone. I have replayed the game nearly 20 times, spent over 2,000 hours, and now I feel I can’t continue playing my favorite game as now I can’t skip time to continue missions I have to do…… what? Walk around, I’ve done all the side missions first. I’m at a moment where I’m doing absolutely nothing but waiting for a phone call from Panam, Judy, and Reed. Can someone please tell me why in the heck this was a needed update and not a punishment?
