Google said it is being removed "as a result of" Google Search Console splitting the Product results search appearance into two: Merchant listings and Product snippets, earlier this year.

The Merchant listings and Product snippets search appearances can be viewed in two places in Search Console:
- Merchant listings and product snippets reports as an overlay on top of the report charts
- Performance report in the search appearance tab or through a filter
Here is a screenshot of the performance report showing those two appearance filters:
