There have actually been a couple of posts -- one about the emails you posted and at least one about protesting the lack of parades.
I'm sure the parades are a big money loser for the developer (insurance, etc.), the stores (people really don't shop before, during or after a parade), the restaurants (people either make it a picnic event or buy from the tents). So, I'd guess that unless someone (Villagers or clubs) are willing to foot the bill for the parades, they are gone. But, for now, it is still not official.
