I think Bungie wanted to tell a standalone, original story, rather than directly following the fiction established in Eric Nylund's novel, The Fall of Reach.
Reach is an entire planet worth of conflicts we never observed; was that not enough to work with?
What happened in Reach could have happened following the original timeline, with the game beggining on Augest 29th perhaps, and stretching into September. Certain things would have had to be removed, but much of it could have stayed, and others (Like Long Night of Solace) would have actually made more sense.
I see I am not alone in this logic.
