Changes coming to crucible (Destiny)

Clearly must be because they want them in the normal rotation. But now seems like I am paying for timed exclusivity

This is pretty much how Bungie did DLC for Halo 2, and WANTED to do it for Halo 3, before Don Mattrick changed things. The idea is that if you wanted the maps right now, you'd pay for them now, but eventually they would re-unify the playerbase and then you get to actually play the maps you paid for.

I understand if you disagree with it but IMO it's pretty pointless to buy DLC and then barely play it because it splits who can play with you.

It should be noted that there are benefits to owning the DLC during it's "paid period", like extra loot/points/etc. When they made DLC free before the benefits usually disappeared (no DEXP, or no Bungie Pro like if you bought Legendary before it's price reduction)
