Hi /r/halo on Reddit!
I'm pretty sure it was more related to them finally needing to completely end support for the original Xbox. You see, by keeping OXbox Live functional, they had to keep training support staff to deal with OXbox support issues.
The original Xbox Live also doesn't support selectively blocking games from Live like they can do on the 360 (ie, try signing into the Blur demo - it knocks you off Live). So they can't for instance just issue a patch for Halo 2 to not break with new 360 features. It was all or nothing.
There's also the fact that they stopped printing new Live cards for the original Xbox ages ago. Cards you need to make a new account. The only way to make new gamertags to play on your OXbox for the last year or so was to make a gamertag on a 360 anyway.
