I thought the same too. So the many posts about this issue confused me.
But apparently some people were able to go directly to the event from live view. I don’t know how as I have never had that capability. Perhaps it is specific to one type of Cam? OS? Magic? 
I’m not sure.
At any rate, Noopurzokarkar addressed this in his post(s) in this thread which seems to indicate it was out there somewhere, a change was made, and now it’s not out there but will be again soon. 
EDIT: Is this a possibility?: Previously, if no uSD card was detected, the playback bar would take you to the events? But if a uSD was detected it would take you to the uSD Playback? And now they have removed the No uSD go-to Events option?
