I'm not sure what your point is to mention that but the reason U.S. Steel was removed from the S&P 500 index was because its market cap had dropped to the point where it was considered a mid-cap company. So, it was moved to the S&P Mid-Cap 400 index where it still is.

It probably wasn't the best measure to use, but I was pointing out how the company has declined from not only the largest steel producer but the largest corporation and first billion dollar company to the 24th largest steel producer in 2015 (13th in 2013).

So I should have used a better representation, but I think the switch from large to mid cap encapsulates this in a simple categorization.
