Wasn't the vaulting of older content a necessity so previous gen users could still play the game?

They said it was a necessity so that development on the game could continue at all since they claim that without the support staff provided to them by Activision it would be too costly for them to maintain older content.

All that means to me though is that maintaining old content was expensive and Bungie thought it would be more profitable to abandon that content, not understanding the long term negative consequences that action would have for the game's playerbase and reputation.
