In my opinion, something is either deprecated or it isn't. In this
case, 'samba-tool user add' was deprecated before Samba 4.0.0 was
released. So, the question isn't why was it deprecated, it is why
wasn't it removed before now ?

Or would you like a patch to remove the deprecate message, deprecate
'create' and make it 'add' again ?

This would be as stupid as deprecating something and then not removing
it for over 5 years.
