ic, why did they remove it to begin with

They didn't remove it, STEEM and SBD got listed on a Korean exchange and laymen with no experience in STEEM fomo'd (fear of missing out) and bought SBD instead of the core token STEEM which caused it to moon. Ever since it hasn't quite been the same.

Do you think that this will be solved with the next hardfork?

No, there is nothing in the next hard fork that will influence SBD price or give us witnesses more tools to do that. The next hard fork hasn't been finalized and may change.
