Keep in mind that many former Bungie employees (e.g., Frank O'Connor, a.k.a. Frankie a.k.a. author of Mister Chief) are now working at 343i, so don't be so quick to dish out the crap on them. Halo is as much their baby as many people at Bungie.
There are three former Bungie employees at 343: Vic DeLeon ("normal" Environment Arist in a team of 10-20 Environment Artists for H2-Reach), Greg Snook ("normal" Engineer in a team of 15-20 Engineers for H2&H3) and Frank O'Connor (Bungie.net Writer from 2004-2008). So Frank O'Connor has not even developed something. Not that their work wasn't important too but it's not like the key employees of Bungie joined 343, not even close.
I don't think that Bungie is/was bitter to give Halo up. In the bonus videos of the Halo 3 Limited/Legendary Edition it seemed more like they were kind of fed up with Halo. They certainly didn't hesitate when they had the choice between developing Halo for the rest of their life or becoming independant.
