Gee, partitioning wasn't in the budget?

All sarcasm aside, it would be my guess (yes, 'guess' as there
are no facts forthcoming to base this on) that the developers and
database designers did want to use partitions, but were working
under constraints (time probably) that disallowed updating the
legacy design to the extent required to merge the data.

If so, not a good decision IMO.
