There was a lot of controversy when this option was removed in the stable version (Chrome 78), well, it seems that Google has decided to restore it, this is the commit:
Re-add "Close Other Tabs" to tabstrip context menu.
I guess this option will be restored first in Canary, although in the past Google has made small updates in the stable version to change some things and, due to the controversy generated by the removal of this option, they could do the same on this occasion and maybe they will restore this option in the stable version with a small update.
Another news that has to do with the tab context menu, it seems that soon the extension developers will be able to re-add the items that Google removed from the tab context menu, this can be deduced from a new commit that appears in Chromium Gerrit:
Add the ability for extensions to add items to the tab context menu.
Following the removal of "Close other tabs" from the tab context menu, this is a way to allow extensions to add item to that menu using the chrome.contextMenus API.
