Why was the option to purchase a game or a digital gift card for giving on a future date removed from the Steam store?

Title and is there any way to bring this option back? Sometimes, especially for Christmas, i like to get all of my shopping out of the way.

It was not removed, its just bugged at the moment. Seen a few people complaining about it since the sale started.

There was never an option to schedule a delivery date for digital gift cards. Only game gifts had this feature.

Digital gift cards have always been sent immediately.

It was never an option. It's not the same issue as game gifts.

It was ALWAYS an option until recently. I should know I utilized this option quite a bit in the past.
