They are simply making money hand over fist with out having to be accountable to their consumer. Its all greed and ego running wild and free.
MODO is a cash cow. They make mad profits from it with basically no upkeep cost. Is it really too much to ask to invest some of that money to make a decent product? Who knows how much potential profit they lost due to a shitty product.

How much would a team of decent programmers cost for this project?

Newsflash: People can go full retard, especially when money is on the line and on the internet with nobody there to keep their stupidity in-check.

I see that whole thing as a way for Wizards to reduce the price support, thus cutting the support of daily events. Just wait for the article where they state that "daily events aren't fixable with the current architecture".
