Activision expects a return on their investment plain and simple. When a game/DLC fails to meet expectations and fails to "engage the veteran player" then ATVI has every right to be "disappointed". A game in a "stable place" is not called out in an earnings call as "disappointing" for not retaining veteran players. A game in a "stable place" does not remove the nomenclature of an exotic perk because Bungie either cannot or will not fix that perk. A game in a "stable place" does not insult the player base by stating that they "misunderstood" the idea of using MW Cores for infusion and proceed to just "rename" them when the vast majority of players wanted them removed from infusion.
