Back to My Mac is being cut from all versions of macOS on July 1
In an updated support document, Apple has revealed that Back to My Mac support will be cut from all versions of macOS on July 1, not just Mojave.

"As of July 1, 2019, Back to My Mac service is not available in any other version of macOS," an updated support page indicates. As alternatives, the company suggests using iCloud Drive, Apple Remote Desktop, and native screensharing tools.
Back to My Mac lets people connect directly to one or more Macs for screensharing and file transfers. The tool has been absent from Mojave since the first betas launched in 2018, but it had been thought that Apple might keep the service running for older Macs.
One problem with Apple's recommendations is that Apple Remote Desktop can be buggy and costs $79.99. Third-party options can be cheaper or even free, such as Chrome Remote Desktop.
Some ways around iCloud Drive include Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive. iCloud does however have deep integration across Apple platforms, and a 50-gigabyte account is only $0.99 per month.
The broader cutoff was first spotted by MacRumors.

i get that its a very underused feature, and parts of it were redundant with modern systems, but screen sharing was a big help to me in getting many of my friends and family to switch to Macs.

That said, BTMM was great and will be missed. It even worked to connect to my Mac mini at home while it was on a shared-IP VPN, which completely breaks stuff like Screens. It was magic. I haven’t found a workaround that works yet.
That’s not what BTMM did.
How was it an intrusion? Nobody forced you to even turn it on much less use it.
Ironically, syncing kindle books works just fine.
While the above is a trivial annoyance, expecting me to store all my data on Icloud so that things like BTMM are not necessary is annoying given the above constraints.
As for remote screen sharing, I use teamviewer across macs and iPads. Bit difficult on the iPad, but you would expect that as you are using a finger on a mouse based GUI.
Not everyone wants to use the cloud, for anything, nor may they even be able to legally for privacy reasons.
Speaking of workflow this is a feature I never found the time to learn that required specific macs (not universal) and is now being orphaned - so glad I never invested time in this - when will Apple just design it right and leave it alone, vs fiddling around with the latest and greatest soon to be cancelled in so many things - is itunes 12.6.x yet another example of outcry for workflow stability from those that use their macs (not ios) for more than basics...?
Are we now thankfully almost getting caught up with Numbers, with category sort fairly recently available on iOS?
I still use iWeb, and find it some of the most brilliant ease of use GUI web authoring software I've ever used. I also still boot into Snow Leopard for legacy access to files - like visiting an old friend... Back then major MacOS cycles were as long as 3 years (10.4, 10.6), and seemingly based on merit, vs an annual corporate calendar... Like Macworld I wish the tyranny of timing for macOS would fade back to merit based release timing, and hardware would use standard retail memory & slots... Stable yet flexible workflow, and less planned obsolesence...
These types of solutions always scare me, as the local computer maintains network connections to an external server to maintain a NAT translation and open firewall port. It is much better to just set up a proper VPN to your router, but call me an old fart...
problem solved.
