Why should that be? Nord developed its Hammond emulation well before the C organ line, for use in the original Electro. Then, given the success of the Electro 1 and 2, they decided it was worth to put that emulation into a dedicated two-manual chassis.
If for the moment it's no longer worth it to produce a cumbersome and expensive double-manual organ (which btw is only our guess, we have no idea what Clavia is thinking/doing about that), I see no problem at all in Nord continuing to refine their organ emulation for the Electro and Stage line.
After all, it's what many major manufacturers (Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Kurzweil) are doing: they all have well-developed Hammond emulations but don't produce any double-manual clonewheel. The 2-manual portable organ sector is a VERY niche portion of the market, and I doubt it's very profitable nowadays with all the options available.
Personally, I want to see Clavia keep pushing its Hammond emulation forward, because presently there are better-sounding clones out there. Especially for the Stage and Electro lines, they need the best possible emulation to keep competing with the various YC61, Vox Continentals etc.
I loved the idea of the C2D when it came out because it was the best sounding, most portable 2-manual-4-drawbar-sets clone available. But it was really too expensive even back then, and now I'd simply buy something else. I had a C2, I currently own a SK2 and I think its emulation is noticeably better than Nords and much more customizable and versatile. It suits my needs and I'm not looking to upgrade, but if I was on the market now, I'd buy a Legend for the most faithful combination of tone and physical layout.
