OG Penguin is not crappy at all because the artists of the time knew how to draw him well within the contest. The issue is with backtracking on what they had in TAS, fixing what ain't broke out of stubborness. Their Penguin already was a great compromise between Devito and Classic. It was pitch fucking perfect, it's a Penguin that workds both as a freaky monster man and a gentleman thief, it's so good. When he's trying to act like a gentleman but can't help but act like a hoodlum in BoaF, it's charming and hell and really believable. And he would have worked as businessman Pengy too. So the decision to undo it comes off as more petty than anything, you know they just wanted to stick it to the executives that forced them to change it, even if the results were so good.

Puritanism, they just didn't want any nasty business kids could imitate on their programming, like any at all. I know general audiencies, politicians and overprotective moms from the time agreed with those decisions, Batman TAS, Gargoyles and early Simpsons seem quaint by today's standards but back then they were cutting edge bro.
