AFAIK:
item links are so hard coded into the game that its nearly impossible to take out. They would have to go through every single items "code number" and change stuff by hand. That is a monumental task.
So would anyone actually prefer the item links removed? Imagine the massive increase in auction spam as people list items with their full stats. Or the asinine hassle of looking through peoples bags in the trade window as your method of shopping. Or trying to get through raid loot.
Personally i can be a classic EQ purist, although I do recognize the extremely beneficial feature of item links. They should have been in at classic launch.
