This may seem like a silly question but why did the dev's decide to take out the legendaries? I know Mewtwo exists to serve as a pvp event but I can't really see the point of taking out the 3 birds, I haven't done hoen yet but I'm going to assume it's the same principle. Even if you use the argument that the legendaries are OP, well the dev's can easily nerf their stats, prevent breeding and so on. I've always enjoyed the challenge of trying to catch them, plus it would be even harder since you can't save before you start the fight. One last thought, if there is no way to obtain them, are they still part of the pokedex? Any thoughts?
