I don't think it's about power. Because of the way the organization is structured, I am isolated from the IT department. Moving me out brings no advantages to either part of the org. In fact, it's probably a disadvantage to IT because it has to burn three people from its allocated headcount. Where previously, it had a bonus person that didn't come out of the IT budget.

It's always about power and politics when bone-headed decisions like that are made. You correctly identified that _you_ did not report to IT, therefore _you_ were a threat to IT's power. Maybe you could have been re-orged under IT, but they probably saw you as a troublemaker who wouldn't kotow.
