What 'need' is this move filling for the community?
Stability of the D&D brand, and a realigning of "who" benefits from the OGL away from big companies like Paizo, and back toward small teams and solo developers? You can argue about whether the community needs or wants those things, but I can see an angle to what WotC is doing that "does not attribute to malice that which can adequately explained by [ineptitude]".
