Because then at least the universe still exists in your imagination without being a shitty retcon cop out.
Edit: I also want to clarify, I'm not against change or drugs or bodymods, by any means, and I do think the drug idea is actually really cool. BUT - using it as a means to bs your way AS AN AUTHOR out of having any animal people anymore feels really messed up. And also Lazy. It would be one thing if it were a fan theory, which I still feel like it might be, but that it's canon is like ... It just feels so fricking cheap and like "there never were any animal people because it was all just bodymods" like bro fuck you yeah there were, we all saw the animal people and the world was more colorful and wonderous for it.
If they want to save it, maybe have both: have the majority of people be animal people, they've just gone into hiding, but then there is also a technology in the world that's capable of turning people into animal people and animal people into human people. Like the reason we haven't been seeing animal people is because they've been transformed/hiding/playing as humans.
Don't take away animal-people authenticity! They exist!
