Because SE wanted to try something different with the relic weapon and island sanctuary. And now they're bringing field operations back due to user complaints.
I don't think it was related to low engagement at all. Using lalachievements.com it shows that CLL and DR were cleared by about 65% of the player base. Eureka/BA is considerably lower but so was the in game population back then.

For the record, what made Bozja more popular and have a longer lifespan wasn't specifically the content itself (even though it was better than Eureka) but rather that for a time period in SHB, prior to the rebalancing of dungeon exp, Bozja was unilaterally the fastest way to acquire exp for alt jobs once MSQ was finished and all regions unlocked. It was the de facto power leveling location.
I highly doubt exploratory content, without the EXP incentive while remaining equally grindy as previous versions were, will suddenly see more engagement than historically has been.
