In what way is anyone 'worse off'? How are they missing a 'wonderful resource'? The art is still out there in the original artists' websites, most of whom are on Furaffinity. What's lost is a site that reposted work, usually without permission or the knowledge of the artists; what's gained is that maybe now people will actually visit the official websites and bring them some welcome traffic. Plus, maybe visitors will poke around and find the work that wasn't allowed on e621 because of the DNP lists.
