I think it depends on when you last updated OsmAnd! It sounds like
perhaps you're not seeing the routes that have been deleted, because
they're for the most part not the river or freeway ones, but rather a
somewhat regularly-spaced network throughout the suburbs.
The other thing that occurs to me about this discussion is that aaronsta
is not actually subscribed to this list — does anyone know? I might
leave a comment on the changeset instead...

Hi
I am looking at the map as if a cyclist visitor to Perth. I am using
Osmand with the bike routes highlighted feature turned on. I presume
the highlighted routes are the same ones that are being talked about.
I can't be sure. The highlights look useful and I would use them. They
pick out the paths on either side of the river and the ramps onto
bridges. Routes that I would naturally gravitate towards. I can easily
turn off the highlights. I definitely want these routes, assuming the
highlights are the same thing as being discussed here.

I'm also a Perth cyclist, and I think I pretty much agree with what
others have said. These routes should stay on the map if they're
signposted on the ground, but other than that I think they're often not
particularly great routes. I must admit that the cyclemap render now
(since the removal of these routes) actually looks a lot more like my
intuitive idea of what cycling looks like in Perth â i.e. there are
some good purpose-made paths along the freeways, and other than that
there's not much. With the official routes, it always looked like there
was this amazing cross-cutting network of cycleways, and actually
that's not really the case.

Well, he has answered a changeset comment:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/116656873
I'll leave it to the WA OSM community if that's a valid reason to
simply
delete
a whole bunch of routes for which there definitely are signs on the
ground,
and what to do about it.
I am from Perth, and am a cyclist. I agree with aaronsta that these
routes
are pretty useless. I have often looked at the signage and wondered
about
OSM & the usefulness of the routes. I might not have gone to the
extent of
deleting them, but it is probably the right thing to do (they are
pretty-much obsolete and I doubt if anyone uses them)
