Are there plans to deprecate the latter in favor of the former?

Private Access significantly expands Entra ID Application Proxy capabilities in Microsoft Entra to a complete ZTNA solution that shares the same connectors but offers so much more, it helps you simplify and secure access to any private resource on any port, and protocol. You can apply policies that enable secure, segmented, and granular access to all your private applications in your corporate network, on-premises, or in the cloud. If you are already using Application Proxy, you can seamlessly transition to Private Access – all existing use-cases and access to existing private web applications would continue to work with no disruption.
