I agree with you. It does look like Jagex are admitting that the old wilderness and pking was better in Runescape Classic. However, if you have been to the Classic wilderness, you will probably notice that it is always full of people pking each other. I think that the old wilderness was far too risky, even if you are a high combat level (say, 100 or so). Therefore, I conclude that Jagex have degraded the wilderness to make it more accessible for low level players. It also allows for quests to be held in the wilderness. I do sort of miss the old wilderness though.
