If there was nobody willing to maintain it and nobody who wants to use it then I would say it makes sense to remove it, because it doesn't make sense to keep something that is unused and will bitrot, but right now this is not the case. In light of what Emil wrote I could also ask: what's the harm in keeping it? Personally, I use both, meson/ninja is great when you want to build the whole project, but being able to go to a subdirectory and just run "make something" there has its virtues too.
