There was a time when this sort of announcement would have automatically coincided with us in clear position to win our first Shield

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Presumably the actual reason is the fact that there will be Western conference teams who will not play their full schedule, but there has to be language about "no fans in the stands" etc etc to avoid making it look like they're calling this season a joke (which it is).
Just my 2 cents.
If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

language about that in the statement MLS asked us to take it out and then proceeded to throw us under the bus.

2001 season, all teams did not play equal number of games.
Shield was awarded.
until MLS finally plays every team home and away (which can't happen ... unless Pro/Rel is introduced), there will always be an unbalanced schedule.

Isnt the Supporters Shield an award from the collective Supporter Groups of each of the MLS Teams? There is no financial award giving to the winner from MLS, right? So what is it to the league if there is still a Supporters Shield Team awarded? I would understand the US Open Cup and MLS Cup winners, even the Mickey Mouse Tournament held in Orlando. Each have monetary award associated with said winner. Just put an asterisk to this seasons Supporter Shield winner! What is the big deal?
No, MLS does reward the winner.
As in previous seasons, this team will be the top seed in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, earn a berth in the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League and receive the bonus that goes to the club that finishes first overall in the regular season standings.
