The problem is not that long established sport routes have been climbed in a trad style and therefore should be debolted. It's that long established trad routes (classics!) are being degraded by new sport routes. Shit squeeze routes in between mega classic trad lines should not be condoned. Just because a line can be climbed doesn't mean it should be climbed...though in many cases the only 'line' for these routes is that made by the bolts.
