Boruto is over 6 years old. Naruto had long been an international best seller by that point. Series that have started after it and ended have completely surpass it in sales. Someone in the companies have gotten so sick of it not making money and stuck in it neverending prologue. That they have order Ikemoto to rush to the time skip while they put the anime on hiatus; since they are sick of making filler for it. Even if you are a fan the time for weak half hearted defenses of it are over.
It is literally at the point, right now, where it either needs to prove it should keep going or kitten off.
