Point being for people who hate pvp (not me I love it but only with friends) it removed a viable (even moreso now) way for them to get weps/armor from factions (I say armor since raid armor isnt as effective in pvp vs properly selcted perk and stat wise faction crucible or vangaurd armor given the normalization or def and att in pvp having proper cooldowns and reloads/melee or grenade perks helps alot )
