While I agree with your edit about heroics, I think they want to have players feel like there's more to do at max level than just start running recycled content (which is how many see heroics). Again, I have no source for that, just a feeling.
But when it comes to hyperbola of "I honestly don't see how Blizz can be defended on this", I think you are doing what a lot people do, they mistake how they play the game for how 7+ million people play. You want more leveling dungeons, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean everyone else does. That's not defending blizzard, that's just stating a possibility.
