The messages could be quite funny, however there was a significant issue with them: information overload. The racing GUI is already quite busy between the indicators of the kart's status, the minimap, the lap/time indicators, the list of other karts... and those funny messages added something on top. If you raced with 4 or 5 karts it was still acceptable I suppose, but with 8-10 karts it started to be really spammy. You can pay attention to maybe 2 or 3 messages per minute, not 20 or 30. In the end when racing, they were mostly distracting or ignored.
If you are interested, you could dig in the commit history to find when it was removed and the reasoning that was presented at the time, but I think it's along the same lines as what I'm saying here.
