I'm confused, what's the logic in releasing a new version without DL/custom model capabilities? Servers that do not use them will continue to work as expected, however servers that do use them will not be alienated from the rest of pack.

Whether you want to admit it or not, you put the early adopters for 0.3DL in a bad position. I'm not sure people would've widely adopted it if they knew that support would be haphazardly dropped and split from what's widely available. Sure, you can shift blame and say "that's a risk they took", but I don't think anyone thought this feature was going to be dropped/optional. Everyone (including myself) saw huge potential for it.

I spent countless hours optimizing models and CDN delivery for 0.3DL to provide a good experience. Seeing that go to waste in the big picture of things is just sad.

I think it's pointless to speculate on the reasons 0.3DL wasn't successful, but please tell me the reasoning of why you can't just keep it in and merge it into the next release. In my opinion, keeping the feature available in 0.3.9 would be the best of both worlds. If your suspicions about 0.3DL are true, then adoption for it in 0.3.9 will stagnate. If they're wrong, then everyone is happy and there's far greater potential for servers to improve.

So... what do you have to lose by merging it into 0.3.9?
