Why are Onslaught and Contest of Elders even in the game still?

Almost every team that goes in wipes in the first few minutes or the objective usually gets destroyed in the first 10-15 waves tops. Does no one with you guys at bungie remember these are supposed to be escalating difficulties with the modifiers listed in Contest at least turning on one at a time? Hell, I just tried Contest 3 times, both teammates wasted all 3 lives on 2 of them (which we only get ONE LIFE PER ROUND LAST I REMEMBER) and on the third one, me and another guy joined one already in progress dead, so that was 2/3 lives gone before we even reached the first room. Why are they still in the game when you clearly don't care enough to fix the difficulty (not that we're supposed to be under level in the first place, THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK POWER DELTAS THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR) or the number of lives we get, and the lfg is dead so it's unlikely you'll get a group for most activities besides raids or Equilibrium at this point. Why even have them when they're damn near impossible? Why is it easier to do a GM alert than it is to do either of these?

    I never tried contest of elders I think but I pass Onslaught almost every time depending on mm team. For me the difficulty is fine but I of course miss the old variety and brave arsenal available... you probably know that you can adjust difficulty there down but maybe you wont find MM or the rewards may be lesser.... Let me know if you want to know my build as warlock for Onslaught > I'm tankier than a Titan.
