This was raised here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-June/msg00117.html
Quoting from that:
"""
virt-convert takes an ovf/ova or vmx file and spits
out libvirt XML. It started as a code drop a long time ago that could
translate back and forth between vmx, ovf, and virt-image, a long dead
appliance format. In 2014 I converted it to do vmx -> libvirt and ovf ->
libvirt which was a CLI breaking change, but I never heard a peep of a
complaint. It doesn't seem to do a particularly thorough job at its
intended goal, I've seen 2-3 bug reports in the past 5 years and
generally it doesn't seem to have any users. Let's kill it. If anyone
has the desire to keep it alive it could live as a separate project
that's a wrapper around virt-install but there's no compelling reason to
keep it in virt-manager.git IMO
"""
Nothing has changed since then, so here is the removal.
