A bad (aka a completely different) 2.0 model does the same thing, but people can easily just look at your previous streams or the Wiki and see that it changed. Also, the persona still exists, so people won't be able to separate the 1.0 from the 2.0. That extreme of a change doesn't flow well with a company, and their has to be a good, reasonable, obvious reason, both "in lore" and outside of the company. (Using Irys for example, it was obvious that it did not fit with the rest of the talents, most people with eyes can see that and how it doesn't work, and they even had a decent lore reason, if I recall, being that she became more angelic than demonic.) Shion doesn't get that because there isn't anything obviously wrong, and it would be completely different to the existing model.
