They merely fixed something they felt wasn't working as intended... nothing more than that.
Very likely that they felt the "rubber band effect" was affecting the usage it was actually meant for.
If fixing an unwanted game mechanic "worries you", and you think they should keep whimsical "side fun that gets you killed 99% of the time" then your priorities are messed up.
It was 100% still useable. All the balance they needed to do was add stamina use for dragging. They didn't need to do the rest of the crap that got rid of the Launch glitch.
They FIXED something that had a "glitch". Who cares if you thought it was fun or not.... It had an UNWANTED side effect and they fixed it... Get over it and move on.
