I think this is the truly important part, because the reality is that if you love the song enough you could create your own stepfile for the song and submit it as a v2 to "replace" the song in the Legacy genre.

These songs are a nostalgia blast for some of us naturally, but a new player just checking out the game is not going to be encouraged to stay when playing the abysmal charts that have been moved to Legacy, in most cases. They don't have the nostalgia factor we do and objectively the charts are bad, history* or not.

*Ironically enough, this is why they were moved to a Legacy genre instead of being removed from the game.
