Were the Hold IO conversion exploiters properly punished?

Ok So I'll be that guy that complains. Many of us have been waiting for months to receive our annual vet badges. We've been told on more than one occasion that it's not a high priority to fix. While it may be cool that toggles don't drop after 15 or more minutes offline, this QoL upgrade was more important than a reward system that doesn't reward at all? I never really minded that the toggles weren't on when I loaded a character after a couple of days. It's just always been that way and I can't say I've really given it much thought. So I'm left to wonder, why is this toggle thing or say renaming a new badge something different a priority over fixing something that's been broken for months?
