There are so few changes between Magic 3e and 4e that the changes that did show up have to be pretty deliberate. The Power"stone" thing is more a change in flavor anyway changing the favor of powerstones to something the 4e team liked better. It might even make the math simpler.

Single College Magery and accompanying powerstones might have been better candidates for getting the chop. Of course it's the new "Regular Spells scale up costs with the SM" rule that's the real crit fail.

I think it used to scale costs with linear dimension or number of hexes, not sure which, but in any case you could shatter planets with Enlarge Object even back in 3e.
