I tried to find dependencies of Spring Boot Velocity Starter for Spring-boot-starter:
- version 2.1.4.RELEASE.
However, I found that it was only listed till:
- version 1.4.7.RELEASE
What is the exact reason for removing this for Spring-boot 2+ versions?

It was removed from Spring Framework, and thus Spring Boot.
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/10008
Velocity support has been removed as of Spring Framework 5 and therefore our support as well (even deprecated in earlier version). As far as I can see there is no spring support in Velocity 2 so you may want to ask that to them first.
The relevant Spring Framework information,
Dropped support: Portlet, Velocity, JasperReports, XMLBeans, JDO, Guava. Recommendation: Stay on Spring Framework 4.3.x for those if needed.
Why the decision was made I cannot answer, there is always various reasons for dropping support for other frameworks but perhaps it wasn't worth the maintenance burden on the framework.
Update,
There is now a Spring support module.

New spring-velocity-support module for Velocity Engine integration in Spring Framework.
