Basically, botters already found a way to circunvent them, and therefore, they made sense no longer. Instead of scrapping them entirely, they reused them, added a few more animations, and made them fully practicable bosses.
So, if the only people feeling negatively about it were going to be the playerbase, they decided it was better to change them.
Something along the lines of limited drops out of your level, but yeah, those aren't changed. That reminds me, did they remove it in KMS? Just curious.

The bot catching monsters got fed up with the current state of maplestory so figured that to the best of their ability, if you can't beat them, join them.

LOL, the ''bot-catchers'' never stopped any illegitimate activity.
They were meant to originally, if I'm not mistaken, but never worked to do a damn thing which is why they've tried to find other ways to stop shady activities and gave the ''bot-catchers'' different uses. They keep them in the game as a reminder of their failure.

KMS bots solve those in less than 3 seconds.

It's as simple as using a mob filter to get rid of them.
Botters are the least of Nexon's problems anyways, or at least should be.
