The obvious time sink serves their purposes. The original EQ Developers realized this too, which is why time sinks became a staple of MMO Development.

The whole concept of "Must be Classic Bad Design and All" went out the window with variance

There really is no rational excuse to keep the exp penalties in place
The P99 devs don't care about whether the EXP penalty provides a time sink to players. They care about having a classic-era EverQuest server. What did classic-era EverQuest have, during Kunark, before Velious came out? Hybrid EXP penalties.
