The style element, when scoped to its parent, will be able to do this

The problem with the style= attribute, as opposed to the <style>
element. Is that it encourages media specific style sheets. As the
media for the style= attribute is automatically "all". It also does not
allow for alternate style sheets. The <style> element in HTML5 handles
both. Having said that, I don't really care strongly either way.
These are good things to explain; but IMHO no reasons to deprecate it.
Finally, there's much content out there that uses the 'style'
attribute and the cost of keeping it is lower than the cost of
removing it.
User agents will be required to support it.
In which case it doesn't make any sense to deprecate it when it was
allowed before.
FWIW, it's not deprecated. It has been removed from the language. HTML5
does not do deprecation. By your reasoning <plaintext>, <isindex> etc.
should also be conforming which doesn't make much sense to me.
