I hate the word "silently" in headlines like these. How else are the supposed to do it? By throwing a press event?
Why hate reporting that fairly represents what they did?

Sure. That's one way to uphold the standards of full transparency about what changes are happening and when - that Unity promised.
It's the easiest thing in the world to write another blog post announcing they're deleting the github repo.
As you noted, deleting something doesn’t make a sound. So if they don’t voluntarily make a sound, then they have silently deleted it.
So yeah, a fucking blog post telling people that they’re pulling the plug on the repo is the least they could do.
Anything short of that is doing it “silently”, especially considering that the old ToS stated that you can choose to stay on the old ToS if a newer one is detrimental to your interest and the new one removes that.
