I don't use all those languages, but the bundled version was usually an older one. More often than not you couldn't use it, and I just ended up installing the latest anyway.
Pretty sure most (if not all) have macOS installers.
They're not saying those languages are legacy, they're saying (other) legacy software is dependent on those pre-installed runtimes.
Seems to me like they're just not going to provide a decrepit version by default anymore. They're not pre-installed on all Linux distros or Windows. Seems like a sane thing to do to me.
Doesn't seem like a huge deal to me.

Python 2.7.10 (2015)
Perl 5.18.4 (2014?)
Ruby 2.3.7 (2018)
So, not that old- especially Ruby.
I guess the point is the title makes it sound like Apple is "banning" scripting languages, which is not the case.
