Ok...
"Memory" isn't a problem, it doesn't hold anything back. It's in the game, it's done.

Removing content is not the same as just hitting the delete button. Very quest chain could reference that content, you'd have to rewrite NPC dialogue, recode quest chains with new requirements and unlocks, etc.

They are actually working on removing some content though, a bunch if fetch quests from ARR and the 2.x patch chain. Note the word "working", removing this content is costing dev time.
