My heart skipped a beat when I read the thread title, I thought the mk8 had been binned already!
As previously mentioned, the low washer fluid is part of the winter pack which was standard on later mk7’s but no longer standard on mk8’s.
The illuminated sill trim itself has gone but the cable for it must still exist as that feed has gone into the rear doors to illuminate the door trim. More ‘moved’ than removed.
Plenty of other changes, some clearly cost cutting but there are tech upgrades such as IQ lighting and all the digital stuff, wireless phone charger, blind spot warning and so on.
