also you were able to write new rules because these rules were .htaccess rules, nothing more.

it wasn't "pointless" - I'm sure they always planned to release an unencrypted version.
encrypting just gave them time to run tests so that they didn't have to worry about piracy, competition, etc ... it was a smart move
encrypting code is done for a variety of reasons - it surely doesn't mean "Epic fail" for the developer (eg. vbseo)
