Why does the AF want to retire it and which aircraft will replace it?

It’s an institutional bias. The Air Force is run by fighter pilots. They detest the A-10 because it is not a fighter aircraft.

No matter what else is said, it really is that simple. Each service has a similar bias involving different weapons systems.
