Explaining these changes to the game's movement, Pete Actipis, Game Director at Raven Software, stated the following [Timestamp: 36:52]:

"We loved the predictability in combat scenarios with movement. We still wanted to give you all of the agency that Omnimovement brings you but the tuning, again, is going to be unique, just for Warzone."

Talking about the updates to movement in Season 3, he further added [Timestamp: 37:14]:

"It is an incredibly important part of the battle royale experience. So in Season 3 we are working to deliver a simplified version of what is closer to the original experience."

Based on what the developers have explained, it's clear that the movement system is about to see quite a few updates, bringing it closer to the original title. That said, it doesn't mean that Omnimovement is being removed; rather, it is being refined and made simpler.
