While I would agree that there is a lot of hype at play in that and is why it is getting a lot of media attention, one of the reasons the question was removed originally was to prevent underreporting. This has been a concern for several censuses going back, including during the Obama administration. So to brush off the concern over people not being counted out of fear of answering that question as just being anti-Trump hysteria is erroneous thinking.
