I agree they probably realised the true meaning but I don't think that was thier intention, I read somewhere on this wiki that it's reminding you they removed it, true greaves are usually included in armor but some armor pieces don't include them and it's also not like boots or gloves where it's completely separete. Although I am not quite sure anymore because you pointed out M'aiq whoud have said it and that's probably true.

I liked having more armor pieces in Oblivion though, possibilly they removed greaves so you can't enchant too many armor pieces, that's the reason they removed the function to wear two rings at the same time. I don't really think they were simplifiying the game, by the way CLOAKS AND CAPES NEED TOO BE ADDED!
