No "Camouflage" function in new Photos Editor?

When I opened a photo on my Pixel 9 Pro XL to perform some minor edits today, I discovered that Google has updated the format of Photos Editor. It appears that among the changes is the absence of the "Camouflage" function that was associated with "Magic Eraser" in the previous version of Photos Editor. (If the feature has only been relocated, I haven't been able to find it, and would welcome guidance from anyone who has.)

The removal of the Camouflage option is deeply disappointing to me, and seems inexplicable. Why take away a useful and perfectly effective feature? I've employed the Camouflage function frequently to reduce the distracting effect of loudly colored objects or apparel from the primary focal point of a photo -- particularly when those distracting matters are difficult to eradicate effectively with the Magic Eraser. Do others agree that this is a step backward rather than an improvement? Is it possible to revert to the previous version of Photos Editor?
 
Evidently, I'm not the only one who is dissatisfied with the new Google Photos Editor:
