Like I said, your statements are just as "vague and hyperbolic" as mine. I'm not going to disclose internal engineering discussions. Guess you got no case on that part, then. Let's see how I can disclose it then...

Updating the legacy platform wasn't viable technically due to the number of core customizations made to MediaWiki in the past several years, namely Forums, Message Wall, Article Comments, and the reverse engineered stuff from later MW updates.

Porting to Gamepedia wasn't viable due to the size of Fandom. We don't need porting to Gamepedia. And MediaWiki like, barely even matters. These reaosons are hugely outweighed by why the UCP is bad.
