Many PS2 titles also used the PS1 hardware for game functionally so some PS2 titles have bugs on newer PS2 models with the hardware removed.

There are PS2 that had this function removed?

Not removed per say, they switched from using a Native IOP like the PS1's processor to replicating the functionality with a PPC chip, codenamed Deckard. The emulation isn't as good as original hardware, and PS2 games which used features of the IOP chip can have bugs as a result.

Functionality was never removed from PS2, they simply switched from a native PS1 IOP solution to replicating it in software via a PPC chip.

Sure but this did cause bugs in some games.
