I didn't get that at all. It read to me like "we thought this was a good idea, we think it had some benefits, but we have realized that it was ultimately a bad idea and so we are reversing it"
But again, it would have been nice if the completely valid reasons why this was a knuckleheaded idea had been heeded from the get go. It was rammed through out of pure stubbornness and damaged the entire brand. I'm guessing, based on personal anecdotes, it probably hurt user engagement as well.
