Yes to the second part. There was a Q&A confirming the BS reason about how trials were so awfully treated (such a niche reason anyway - that in reality the opposite effect usually happened). That so obviously couldn't be the real reason so people have resorted to conspiracy theories like the above.
That came weeks after the announcement.
There was no problem with loot ninjaing in Legion. Nobody ever started a thread complaining that they didn't get their loot as a trial. And we know that there was an enormous number of complaints in wod, threads every day.
For weeks after the original announcement, trolls went at it on the forum, the raiders, wannabes, and poseur trolls duking it out with the "filthy casual" trolls. Insults, poo, and contrived "logic" ruled the day. Many threads had to be deleted as spam of the worst variety.
The meme that stuck was "we don't steal trials loot, get out of my thread you lazy casuals". And so that's what Ion picked retroactively as his "reason", as though he'd ever had the least concern about trials before.
Everything about BfA is designed to slow down progression and gameplay. So is this.
