The change in policy makes the product less customer friendly without providing any offsetting benefits. It is only intent is to benefit Apple. Subsequently does that make it now less of a product in my eyes - yes definitely. Is it now a piece of junk? For me, yes, because I am not going to be using it any more. Is that my choice - definitely.

Obviously you feel its a minor inconvenience. I don't have a problem with that. For me its not how simple or difficult it is to make the change. It is the principle of being forced to accept an undesirable change to a product I already own, simply to benefit the manufacturer.
So out of (justified) annoyance you cut yourself off from the use of property which cost you several hundred dollars? That's not rational. You should at least donate or sell it.
