I dont understand how this can be the case.
The poker economy relies on people depositing money.
The main depositors will be recreational players and the vast majority of those players will lose.
While they may lose it quicker at heads up than any other form, it doesnt make it flawed. If that was the case then casino games are technically flawed (aswell as 6max or any game where an edge can be found)
HU games can still exist if there is more deposits to the site. A site needs to do this by promoting, and setting a trend. You need to get people to play the game!
The only reason 888 got rid of HU tables is because they believe its more profitable for them.
You working for an IGaming company means you are biased to provide a service for them to help their bottom line, and removing HU tables does that.
