Based on what I was privy to I think you’re right on the money about Rona and her sycophants ruining Deer Country for everyone with their powergaming. Rona is genuinely a menace obsessed with playing the most powerful and main characters in every game she’s in and doesn’t care about anyone else’s fun, she’s a headache for mods. The Deer mod team had already been dealing with that in the first game, can’t blame Simcha for not wanting to deal with several more years of it. Then when Beth and Rona tried to take control of Deer Country to turn it into their own private sandbox at the end, I’m glad Simcha told them to go pound sand.
