Why is Stockfish removing killer moves in move ordering ?

I could never get an improvement from killer moves in my engine ??????????

I never had much success with just about any move ordering method. The exception being using the hash table for move ordering, this seems to dramatically improve performance.

What, not even MVV-LVA?!

What I meant is getting a huge ELO/performance boost. From my recollection, only adding the hash table did that (i.e. getting the best move from the hash). But I could be wrong, would have to intentionally remove the captures-MVV-first part from my main engine to check. What I remember for sure is dabbling with all sorts of heuristics and various ideas what moves might be most promising, and none of those ideas resulted in more than gaining a few ELO points.
