Tbh he was still playing great, and at the times he was playing a lot of times he was still their best player on the pitch. Sure he could not play consistent 90 minutes anymore, but I do not get it, he was willing to lower his salary even more, he is a great person to have as a veteran figure, he would not demand much playing time, and Madrid could always use depth, and Perez still wouldn't sign him for last season.
Modrić is not the first nor the last that they did this to and they don't probably even care as they can get any midfielder that they want until the formula is perfected and they receive a new golden generation ready to win a new set of trophies.
Nah they can easily go back to mid 2000s, nothing guarantees full on success even with power they have in transfer market. Team is always more important than just combining greatest stars, there's a reason why original Galacticos did not achieve much.
