The real reason has nothing to do with bloat and security. The real reason is because they can. Their customers don't care and apple don't care about the very few customers that need to run legacy software.
I think it is a very intelligent move of their part. They removed the need to keep a sane multilib setup and that without bothering the majority of their users.
The same for the price bump: a very intelligent move. They still sell products with an even higher margin. They are going to do that until sales drop.
