He's so right. There's a suit at Bungo that got paid for this decision. More concerned with the next few months of $$ than the next few years of players.

I don't blame him, why the hell is it even called "starter pack"? it will confuse new players even more.

The long-term health of a company is often meaningless to C-suite level executives who get bonuses based on yearly performance and are therefore directly incentivized to pump up those numbers anyway they can.

Doubly so in publicly traded companies in the US, who are more or less legally required to consider shareholder value above all other concerns.
