While Abe is quite popular, I'm sure his popularity would have run out, especially among snooty fans with their flawed ways of judgement.
Anyhow, I'm not sure why they made it. The best I can come up with is because they want something new and fresh to the Oddworld series. If we keep recycling Abe, the series would get old. The Quintology might've needed a break.
Personally, I liked the decision. While I dislike many creature designs in SW, least it brought in some new ideas. Plus, I just LOVE Wild Western Flicks.
