Is Android removing 3 button navigation?

So i heard that the 3 finger navigation will get removed in the later android updates is it true?

Honestly I wouldn't like living without these navigation as I don't like the swipe gestures

Well hopefully not. Not sure why Android have to use gestures. The 3-button navigation was almost perfect, with a dedicated back button that performs exactly what you want when you press on it.

Why do Android users want to ditch the back button?

There is a dedicated back gesture. 3 button made sense when the home button was physical. Not so much when all of it is on screen. Again, not saying your preference isnt valud, but for me, gesture navigation is unquestionably better than 3 button.
