The solution to this is to create brand new sets, or carrots, if you will. Not recycle old ones that people worked hard to get under the promise of them being exclusive and limited-time availability only.
How to say you have 0 market/economy sense without saying it.

NOBODY!!! cares about what happened 10 years ago, because nobody lives in the past or gets to eat/ progress/advance forward by reminiscing about the past. The vast majority of players who used to play back then aren't even around anymore, aren't engaged in the game in a meaningful way, and aren't creating anything positive to drive the community forward.

It makes all the sense in the world to bring back old sets that could potentially drive engagement of obtaining them, also bringing back some of those old players that really wanted the particular set but missed out on it.

From a business standpoint is the correct way forward. Not the mention that a game needs to adapt to the new trends and what current and concurrent players want, because they support and allow the company to also push forward. In short, players win, SE wins too.
