Maybe so, but the biggest complaint was the time and effort required to cap for both crafting and gathering more so than the cap itself or any other issue and as Chrolo pointed out, that's the one SE understandably responded to and ran with. You should be pointing a finger at the people who (apparently) complained about the wrong thing instead of at SE for actually listening to players.
