It's true that Eureka didn't have anything like castrum, but I'm sure they'll do something to make it doable when population drops off.
No, they're falsely associating it to drive people to their bad content. If it's content that would die without forcing people into it, then it needs to die to show them that people don't want that content and let them see the areas where they need to improve. They're jobbing the numbers and then patting themselves on the back that the zone is so successful when there are so many people who do it through gritted teeth. That's not going to endear you to your playerbase.
