No disrespect, sir, but why are you talking about "recs" ?
You simply view the problem from the wrong angle, your assertion being that Amaya decided to please "recs" and getting rid of "regs".
It's not a war between recs and regs, it's a war between those who are able to make long-term steady income as opposed to players who come just for entertainment.
A "reg" is someone who plays regularly, ain't it ?
A "rec" is someone who plays occasionally, ain't it ?
A "reg" and a "rec" can be of equal skills.
That's just 2p2ers and fallacious thinking process that make some people think that "regs" are pro educated players and "recs" are clueless fishes, it's just a wrong translation.
"Recs" are NOT the target of Amaya.
"Uneducated players, recreational or regular" are what Amaya is looking for and ofc, the more regular players are, the better it is for Amaya. So they actually try to attract "regs" but not educated poker player "regs", they want the same kind of regular people who play Zynga (and, in some extent, games like Overwatch, Hearthstone, Candy Crush...) everyday.
Winning pots is obviously part of the entertainement, but losing some also, and these people couldn't care less if they can withdraw any money this month or the next, they just don't especially plan to withdraw regularly.

What make you think that people like you are a majority ?
You think "majority" of poker players (educated and not) are 2p2ers and passionate about the game ? That's in YOUR imagination, not the real world.
It's like if the girl you loved for 10 years said for more than 3 years now that she cheats you regularly and will soon go live with her new guy.
I can understand it's hard to accept, but the fact is that girl (= Amaya) doesn't love you anymore and don't need your presence anymore. She still lets you live with her as long as you don't ask for sex, food, or any other interesting thing (= rakeback etc), you're free to stay but she simply doesn't care about your life anymore.
You're blinded by your emotions and simply can't accept the obvious.
You try to convince yourself and some others that she still loves you and want your presence, but that's not the case.
Just go find a new girl that matches you better and move on, your beloved ex is gone
