@Tuesday_713There is no number of reasons, all they said is its bad for the game without elaborating on what the issue was.

"When we introduced Solos as a limited-time mode last year we saw it actually negatively impacted the game, especially when it came to new player retention,"
and
"We’ve also purposely designed Legends and their abilities to compliment teamplay and squad composition, but when played Solo some Legend abilities become useless. These are just some of the reasons we decided not to include Solos in today’s update."
So firstly they state new player retention as a reason, meaning game sense was negatively impacted for new players in solo mode, and secondly the legend balancing issue I mentioned earlier. Also there would be the issue of, for instance, half the lobby playing wraith, or bloodhound, or pathfinder, etc. Because of the fact that only some legends could fend for themselves in solos, others would, as the article states, be completely useless.
I repeat, I am for solos, just elaborating as to why they most likely won't be added as a permanent feature.
