Think of clans as an extended friends list. Or a list of people who you can join custom games with.
Some of us remember when there used to be the Major and Minor clanmatch gametypes. However, people would be making clans too often, and it didnt reflect what bungie wanted clanmatch to be (because high level players would start a new clan and end up as a level 1 clan, and would own lower level players).
Basically, the concept of having the clanmatch gametype was being abused. Also, the higher ranking clans which stuck it out would have problems finding matches.
