I suspect they did (note that this layoff / closing was not part of the initial layoff round) and that the between then and now was considering those questions and their impact. I also suspect that when they got done answering the questions, it came out to be "the cost of trying to sell this to a responsible party and make all the changes to the site to remove integrations (using what is likely a demoralized division of the company) is much more than any possible gains or loss of goodwill."
