I had forgotten all about that.

They did it because some scheduling nerd thought #7 expresses stopping at Woodside would foul the local/express merge west of 33/Rawson. That is a 5 minute lengthening of running time for Woodside, a 50% service slash, and also affecting LIRR transfers who did not do Hunterspoint, which became harder once Ronkonkoma electrification was done.

But, there you go, degrade service, expect trouble.
Since the MTA caved, no legal precedent was established.
