Agreed, sound mixers have only ever asked me for Quicktime H264.

Adobe is catering too much to Apple users. I run a video company that uses a Windows PC and Sony A7sii workflow, which when RAW, are H.264 files. Just because Apple doesn't like H.264 doesn't mean you should abandon a fulyy functioning and useful codec. Remember that people use custom PC's running Windows too, without access to AppleProRes422.

I have to use the 2017 Media Encoder as well for my TV station Deliveries. Hopefully we wither get back Quicktime h.264 or the stations change. The latter probably won't happen for another 10 years...

This is extremely important for the industry I am working in (advertising). The TV stations (all across the nation) we are sending our spots to won't accept anything else other than Quicktime H.264 Mov files. There should at least be a legacy option for it, because right now we are having to export ProRes files, and then encode those files with the 2017 version of Media Encoder in order to get the H.264 version.

We need this because many TV stations don't accept .MP4

But why would anyone need this? Same thing, different file extension.

QuickTime needs to die, already. Adobe made the right move here.

Use MP4.
