Anyway, how can they just end a recall? Is it a common practice? I guess on some level it makes sense, since they figure that every 98 model has to have over 100k by now, and it's normal wear and tear.

Probably because it was in the terms of their settlement, AoA doesn't do things out of
kindness. They do these things because they got sued: Oil spec due to sludge, timing belt inspections, lower A-arm inspections, etc. Interestingly enough, items that commonly fail tend to get reclassified to "wear and tear" items on their CPO warranty list, primary example being TREs.
