Old and crappy code, plus Micro$oft abandoned ddraw from Windows8 and 10. So the devs see no need to support it too.
these facts can be count into "in the way of MAME's progress", but removing it will not make MAME better or faster. keeping it, wouldnt harm any other videomode, just saying.
IMHO, it was done, because of BGFX. The goal is to have only BGFX as videomode and BGFX doesnt support ddraw. I have big hopes in BGFX, but didnt see things like that coming.
seems there is no love left for crt  it is considered "dead" hardware.
if at any time the developing of GroovyMAME comes to a halt, the CRT users will be screwed .
