In all fairness, if Blizzard wanted to, they could allow you to duplicate a character that got migrated to WotLK, provided it met certain criteria (ie, level 60, no items from wotlk, etc…).
Just erase the gold off the clones. Genuinely, no one would be mad. We want our characters with their items. Remove BOEs for all I care, I want my 150 days played bis warrior.

Really good point. Just strip out gold and non-bound items in your bags/bank during the copy. I mean, if it were up to me, I’d leave you with 100g just to help you get going because I’m not a monster… but that’s just me.

Clones were available for over a year.
TBC came out June 1, 2021 - and people who wanted to play era cloned.
July 26, 2022 - clones were closed.
My condolences go out to those who missed it, but over a year is a long time for something that is supposedly important.
Like Harland mentioned above, this is the best time to level a new toon. The world is alive, groups are easy to find, and world pvp is amazing fun.
So what? There was no indication that it was going to be a temporary service.

are we still crying about this?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but they didn’t initially imply that the cloning service would only be offered temporarily, did they? I know that eventually they made a forum post saying it was ending, but… sure, and I understand the service was available for a year, but come on… no one ever thought it would go away. Of course, until they said it would, which by that point, people who missed the window were understandably not looking at their Battle.net launcher or checking WoW forums for any number of valid reasons. The expectation here is absurd; no one knew it was going to eventually go away.
(unless you were one of 7,000 people who checked this forum post here:)
Yep, their salty tears are still flowing. 
That wouldn’t be very fair imo. I have a few characters sitting at level 65ish I’d love to clone back
