Here's what the developers had to say about the removal of BR Solos from the active playlist:

"Given its (Battle Royale Casual) popularity, combined with our ongoing effort to keep playlist options focused and manageable, we’re going to experimentally replace core Battle Royale Solos with Battle Royale Casual Solos. While we understand the impact this will have for players who prefer core Battle Royale Solos, it is a compromise we're comfortable with given the larger engagement with other playlist options."

Simply put, the developers have removed the mode so that they can manage their active playlists better. Considering the fact that Battle Royale Casual has grown in popularity significantly after it was introduced, they decided to introduce the Solo mode to that playlist instead of regular Battle Royale. Call of Duty claims that they're comfortable with the decision so far, as other playlists tend to get more engagement from players.

That covers everything that you must know about why BR Solos was removed in Warzone Season 4.
