Why worsen reactors instead of rewarding them better?

Could any developer explain the advantages of the latest and ‘wonderful’ reactor update?
For starters, it is well known that there is a low density of players on most servers, with the exception of Gaia.
Given this, why, instead of trying to make the game more attractive or slow down the loss of players, do the developers come up with these kinds of ideas?
For example, I am from the Aurora server, which has a low player population, and there are those who have more than 40 cortexes of all types, especially asuras. If you ask why, the answer is simple: they have more time and are more competitive than the rest, among other things. Apart from that, there are few players who do the reactor (among whom I currently include myself), because the Erebos missions require time and a minimum number of players to carry them out, as well as reflexes in the case of some players who are already quite old. All of that is a challenge on my server.
Now they come and tell us that the few of us who dare to do the reactor, which for years was monopolised by 10 players, and who rarely finish 2º, usually 3º or 4º, if we are lucky, because there is usually no prize for 4º place as there are not enough squads, we are going to receive even fewer pieces (8 pieces for 3º place before your new update), or if one day we manage to come 1º with effort and dedication, we will not be able to get a complete cortex.
Instead of encouraging what little enthusiasm remains among the few players left, they demotivate us and bury us...

How difficult was it to leave the same system in place or encourage squads by awarding cortex pieces from a minimum wave of 13, for example?
Or just implement it on a weekly basis and that's it.
Obviously, the first place would be 1 full cortex, no more, as I saw some players propose...

We have the same issue on Askone.....
Apart from Gaia the other server activity is pretty low. Which means that the reactor is dominated by certain pilots / Clans giving new pilots zero chance to earn parts. Adding milestones encourages new pilots to participate more as they know that their effort is not wasted
I think changing the format, so you attain parts once you have achieved a certain amount of waves is a good idea in my opinion. and gives the rest of the Askone community a chance to get some Azure parts.

I think something like this was suggested a number of time to give rewards at certain waves and/or milestones to get at least something out of Cort runs while those who really compete get the placing rewards as bonus and so could install cortex items quicker.

I would be one of those players who rather prefers to get some parts from beating waves until the reset happens rather then spending hours upon hours with the fear to not win anything cus the squad may be pushed into a "non rewarded place"
