Let's not pretend people haven't quit playing the game in the past because of restrictions such as having to play an entire season (which they might not even like) just to get to the next one. I myself have quit the game because I was finding PB extremely stale and boring, and really just wanted to be able to play WE but couldn't. So, at least from a business standpoint, PS has made the right move because 1) they can't afford to lose any more players like that, and 2) this decision will in fact help them gain more players by winning back those who had previously lost interest in the game because of restrictions that are now gone.

So I don't see the problem here? I mean, old players lose virtually nothing, returning players get to skip the season that made them leave and play the one they actually prefer, and PS gets to eat your tears.

But all that aside, if I remember correctly, one of the devs once claimed that they were going to separate the seasons mainly to avoid server crashes and other technical difficulties of that sort, since it's not easy fitting four large maps and such a huge amount of players in just one small game. So you can't really blame them.
