No, it's general logic. If you stop and think for 5 minutes, you'll realise that Activision want you to buy the latest installment of the Call of Duty series so they can maximize their profits, they're a company and they're out to get money. Modern Warfare 2 is a cheaper game and, with AlterIWnet, had better servers than Modern Warfare 3 does.

While EA has made quite a few visible screw-ups such as the From Ashes DLC for Mass Effect 3 (If you change a single file's name in the game you can get it for freeeee), Activision is still a dickish company and only exists only to make as much money as it can. Do the maths.
