In complete and utter seriousness, I really think that they may be intentionally trying to kill the anime.
This feels a bit like End of Eva to me, or the Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z - where one or more of the key people behind the anime are just sick and tired of the anime and/or are massively pissed off with the fans... and hence are sincerely and actively trying to kill the anime and/or piss off the fans.
Quite hilariously, this attempt to kill the anime in Dragon Ball Z's case resulted in the Vegeta/Bulma pairing that was meant to disgust fans but became the most popular shipping in the show.
However, if KyoAni and/or Kadokawa are deliberately trying to kill Haruhi they're much more coolly efficient than that. Honestly, this is now how I want to see them - as pure evil genius', like a great classic anime villain, trying to take down the Haruhi anime.
I prefer that idea to moronic incompetence on Endless Eight Kyon's level...
