They are entitled to stop building docker images. Their users are entitled to get salty and go find alternative products.
If that is Minio’s expectation, then all is good, but it seems kinda counterproductive? I never liked minio, but I certainly wouldn’t use it after seeing them remove features.
They removed the admin UI from the web frontend in the f/oss version some months ago, too. I updated for security reasons and they'd stripped the functionality out. It's a jerk move.

All sorts of projects remove features all the time though, even the linux kernel drops support for hardware that may or may not be in use somewhere

People are entitled to feeling things of course, others will only point out that it may not be justified and that the user is liable to get hurt again if they never adjust their expectations to meet reality
I think (and I suspect many users would agree) that there is a big difference between "we are removing some unmaintained drivers for a piece of hardware which almost no one is using" and "we are removing a tentpole feature from the 'open-source' version of our application and making it exclusive to the paid edition".
