Tbh, I don't recall them saying before that there won't be content droughts (doesn't mean it didn't happen ofc). But I think one thing you don't realize is that failure is a natural part of a creative process. It happens regardless of your intentions. What they have said now is that their approach to try to release expansions faster at all cost did not work therefor they will try a different approach. And this is the most natural thing to do. They aren't promising anyone that content drought will never happen again because it's not possible to predict what issues will come up in the future. However, they are saying they will focus on preventing the drought rather than trying to release expansions faster. Sure, it's their fault they didn't realize it earlier while some of us on the forums were mentioning it already that we don't really need faster expansions. But hey, they are human. Humans make mistakes. The best thing a human can do with a mistake is learn from it. And they obviously did and that is a good thing. Apology or any kind of penance isn't really needed at this point.
