I've heard the same thing that visas could only be bought online or at local embassies after the grand movement and I have also noticed that the kiosks are still available and the staffed visa desk is still open at Atatürk Airport. However, I have noticed a point at the video that IGA had shared for international arrivals. At 0:15 in the video below; there is a sign for "VISA" which means that visas could be still purchased at Istanbul Airport. I am not sure when this video was taken but on one of my photos that I took during my arrival at Istanbul Airport; I have captured the sign "VISA" as well. The photo below is taken by myself on the 13th March.
