Well, I would understand it, if it would be good stuff, they reuse. But Black Doom and Mephiles were both from bad games and they are both bad characters. Mephiles was like a masterbrain character with a plan, just to become a dumb monster to have "power" and heck Black Doom was even worse, as his only plan seemed to be to use Shadow as his servant, since he is unable to do anything on his own.
Reusing clearly bad stuff (most people in the internet seem to agree that both, Shadow and 06 were bad) after like 10 years sounds for me like this:
"Too bad, you didn't like our stuff from 10 years back before. Instead of improving and learning from our mistakes, let's see, if the next generation of kids like our gabarge."
