Basically an indian nobody ex-comedy central I believe made a documentary about why Apu was evil and SJW who come together over any issue for convenience sake because they're better than you decided Apu was now racist and a huge problem even though it really wasn't before. The Simpsons handled it like pretty much every controversy and the extreme left went nuts and the voice actor didn't like being associated with all the controversy from what I saw in the interviews and it makes sense since it's not a good strategy for tv/movie actors so I'm guessing that was a deciding factor. Matt Groening doesn't seem to give a crap and defended Apu but he also doesn't mind much anymore of what goes on with the Simpsons. The guy who made the documentary didn't even want Apu gone, he was mostly using the current political climate to make something with "relevance" and it worked but it went too far.

Apu will be missed. As far as the Simpsons ending, they are never going to end as I explain below.

The life of the show is practically resting on hers.
Because of these reasons people did think Season 30 or very soon it'd be the end of the Simpsons but just this year we heard from both Fox and Disney that there are basically no plans on the show ending. As soon as one of the main voice actors dies they'll just replace them and once one is replaced no one will bat an eye when the others are. Sad, but pretty much all foreign dubs of the Simpsons have gotten rid of their equally iconic casts at different points and the show continued.
