Well, before this update, people would have to play a lot to raise a lot of food to level up their dragons to get silver/gold shrines. Now they don't have to level up so many before they can get the higher shrine levels, but there is still incentive to do all that same work because of the breeding advantage higher level dragons will have now.

Think about it - BFS actually was really smart here. Those who got their shrines the old way probably raised a bunch of the same dragons (Panlongs, and then two other hybrids to cover the other elements or whatever). But now people are eventually going to want two of ALL dragons to be level 15 or higher to so that if they're ever needed for a rare/limited they'll have better odds of breeding it.

Personally, I like the new shrine rules better, they just make more sense to me. To me, it makes sense that higher level dragons would be more likely to result in a rare/limited when breeding - it just seems like a logical reward for the effort of leveling up dragons.
