There is no evidence to suggest that 7.0 was animated with the old models, there is no evidence that they had to redo an entire cutscene to slap an updated expression on it- bringing shareholders into the argument to make it sound more reasonable is just moving into fanfiction tier. This entire reasoning is nothing but baseless speculation for an excuse

It's patch 7.0, these improved expressions promised in 7.0 are not here. That's all there is to it
