Did snipers ever have aim assist, i honestly can't remember since I've only sniped in like MW2/BO2.
First time we seen it removed
Snipers have had values changed in the past which makes certain behaviours harder to pull off or impossible.

Incorrect
Snipers have always had aim assist of some form just the values are different between games, example certain games have hipfire aim assist others lack it.
Some games have scope aim assist which sticks near targets others have aim assist but does not slow down the scope. Black ops 3 has aim assist which is not very strong on the P-06/Dakon which won't slow down your scope but helps you stay close to your target. Possible to drag scope due to this however you need to be much closer to your target.
Locus/SVG lack any sort of aim assist even when hipfired.
Believe Ghosts had no hip fire aim assist unlike every other CoD to that point and changed aim assist values so you had less slow down or sticky aim assist. Black ops 1 you had to be centred before scoping in and MW3 you could drag scope.
Black ops 3 removes aim assist for certain weapons at different ranges, shotguns, SMGs, ARs and even pistols have different ranges which it disappears.
Aim assist helps keep you on target and sticks to targets does couple different things at once. Target assist is different value which only happens during the single player allows you to snap on to targets without much player input. Obvious example is why some players was able to quickly do the pit on MW2 so far was due to target assist.
