The point here is this: devas were made up for 4E. They had no precedent in prior editions, didn't have 30+ years of traction, and their flavor was quite different than most other races. They don't really fit with the classic D&D-isms, which D&D Next is all about.
I really hope that they will release a full fledged 4E sourcebook soon after the release of 5E so that people who like the 4E races and classes don't feel left out. At least with 5E that will be possible, unlike what happened with 4E.
