Well when you think about it, thats the biggest reason to remove them. There is no reason for them, you already progressed your light level when you dropped the item. It does not enhance your armor/weapon in a sense like it does when you masterwork it. And they already charge glimmer and planetary materials for you to infuse. In essence they implemented a economy system that is not meaningfull besides frustrating players with armor/weapons infusing. Ofcourse the community is opposed to any downgrade of the game, changes are supposed to improve not worsen the status quo. Hope that answered your question to satisfaction....
