Actually I dont think they decided to take out logfiles.

This is only me guessing really:

But we know how CA develops 2 games the same time. RTW has been under way for 4 years now so I guess a lot of things was decided/worked on at the same time as MTW.

If we look at MP we are having very much the same situation as MTW 1.0: no logfiles, buggy replays, ignore/ban commands not there, a faction cant be picked twice...did I leave anything out? While patches and expansion pack improved on MTW nothing was transferred over to RTW.

CA got one more year to develop RTW and unfortunately not much was done on MP. IIRC online historical battles was mentioned a long time ago so it was already a planned feature.
