Shouldn't both be removed? Or does it mean we should use <small>? Why is <big> removed but <small> is not? What is the problem with <big> which does not apply to <small>?

Not Supported in HTML5. The <big> tag was used in HTML 4 to define bigger text.
The <big> element was deprecated, but the <small> element is still available in HTML5.
Definition and Usage. The <small> tag defines smaller text (like copyright and other side-comments). Tip: This tag is not deprecated, but it is possible to achieve richer (or the same) effect with CSS.
<small> HTML Tag The <small> element identifies text to display one size smaller than the surrounding text. In HTML5 the element is intended to be used to identify items of secondary importance such as copyright notices, side comments, and legal notices.
Remember, the tags are meant to be semantic, not presentational. There is such a thing in English as "fine print". This is what the small tag represents. There is no analogous concept of "big print" except for a header, which is already covered by seven other tags.

<small> is used more frequently, for footnotes and such...with <h1>, <h2> and <h3> there just wasn't a use for <big>, hence why it's removed.
