As to the "purge" aspect, it is, but it's an industry standard that isn't going to cease anytime soon. When Star Trek ended production of new shows after Enterprise, Christie's took everything they had in the warehouses and catalogued it for auction. Ending up in private hands may upset some, but at least the pieces will end up in the hands of those who will care for them. Any disdain that's felt over this won't change the reality.

The issue most are taking isn't outrage over a company selling off assets and they'll probably wind up in the hands of private collectors, it's that this is very much Hasbro torching the bridge. IF we ever get a new live action series, it will mean that these suits and thus characters will not be able to appear again barring the expensive endeavor of recreating them from the ground up.

In short, the problem is that this is Hasbro signaling that they have no interest in preserving or having access to the 30 year history of the show. The generous assumption would be that they're intending to look fully forward now, to move on to entirely new stories and possibly mediums. The more realistic is that Hasbro is saying "f*** it, we ain't getting anything else out of this franchise."
