Why does wanting elements back have to have a deep spiritual meaning for you? It's just fun that's all. Bungie took it away and it was unnecessary. Giving it back is only a positive. People who wanted it back will be happy and the people who didn't care, still won't care.

But over all it is a net-positive, I agree with you that it would be cool if those elements had a bit more depth to them or perhaps had some sort of mechanic built in
