That's because RTS games were not selling as well as they did before. But they didn't blame it on the fact that the quality had diminished, and instead pinned it on lower customer interest and closed down the studios. They did the same with other genres in the past, but RTS is getting a second chance now, probably due to the successes of Starcaft 2 and Ashes of Singularity. Not my favorite genre, but I'm happy for every fan of it to come back now.

The millions of copiess that Age of Empires 2 HD sold also helped them notice that there's a clear demand for games of that genre.

No doubt about that. That's certainly what inspired both Activision Blizzard and EA to make remakes of their own RTS series. But without the two aforementioned games I doubt Microsoft would have made that remake in the first place.
