Dancey said that the current regime doesn't have to answer for the promises of the previous regime. However, Hasbro is still pursuing a Core Brand strategy, which means D&D still needs to clear $50 million if it wants to lavish in Core Brand support.
You seem to have missed a key point that Mistwell has made: D&D is no longer considered separately by Hasbro at all, but solely as part of WotC. As such, they get to play remora to Magic's shark.
And because of that, any assessment based on that $50M target is flawed - you're building on a foundation that doesn't exist any more.
(It's worth noting, of course, that this decision could well be reversed at some future time, and D&D could again find itself subject to a Hasbro-wide target. But then, there's a whole load of things that could happen.)
