That's just a blatant exaggeration. They do a pretty good job of ensuring that not all the mythics are chase/staple cards in most sets. And there are still plenty of weird/garbage cards in the mythic slot that you definitely don't want in limited.
That said I agree that it was mostly a financial decision, but I can't really fault Wizards for making it. Other successful card games have had more than three rarity tiers for years - Magic just gets additional pushback because it's so old that a segment of the player population has unrealistic/unfair expectations of stability, as if their sentimental attachment to the way things are should outweigh Wizards/Hasbro's financial imperatives.
