People are mostly just mixing up how they are describing why it got removed.
AVR was superimposed onto the 3D world, it broke the barrier between the game UI and the 3D world, something that is already frowned on with things like texture modifications. Boss mod arrows are on the game UI, even thought they can visually look 3D, they aren't superimposed onto the game world. Nameplates are sort of a grey area, they are technically 2D but move based on 3D objects.
AVRE was Decursive all over again which lead to the secure lockdown in 2.0, if boss mods start doing too much (by whatever standard Blizzard uses), they'll break the portion they think crosses the line.
I'm not going to argue if it's right or wrong, but that's just the difference between something like AVR(E) and BigWigs.
