That's the ES, which is not being canceled. It competes with the softer luxury sedans like the Buick LaCrosse, Acura TL, Genesis G80, and Lincoln MKZ/Continental. Some of those competitors have been slated for cancellation.
The GS was a real sports sedan on a rear drive chassis. It competes with the Cadillac CT5, Mercedes E350, and BMW 530i. All of those cars also have hardcore performance variants like the GS had. All of those models have been recently updated with significant improvements.
Basically, Lexus is investing where their competitors have divested and vice versa. Everyone is trying to create and protect their niche in the declining sedan market.

Who’d ever think of a declining sedan market? Seems like the sedan has been part of the American marketplace for decades.

The ES was a "souped up" (not really, just an extremely nice, Japanese-made Camry) Camry. Now, it's a "souped up" Avalon, but they're made in the same Kentucky plants the Avalon is made in.
The GS is a fan-fricking-tastic car, even in more base trim.
