I'm guessing they are implementing this so buyers can purchase a decent quality JPEG from the vector file, otherwise it will be too small.

Adobe has two options - zip file with eps (any size) + jpg of min 15MP or standalone eps with 15MP. Shutterstock wants to keep only one option - min. 4MP eps.
I am contributor and buyer as well and I can tell you that working with vectors bigger than 1500px is just annoying to put it nicely. I usually work with 100% or bigger magnification for precision and if I want to change anything - even change one point on a curve I soon run out of screen space, even on 4k screen.
File size matters mainly because loading complex shadows, blends, various overlay modes takes much, much longer with bigger eps files - for both contributors and buyers.
Also, who wants to download and store gigabytes of vectors - extra money for internet connection and storage, again for everyone - contributors, buyers and even Shutterstock.
That's why it makes very little sense to implement this change.

Ah ok thanks, that makes sense.

The file sizes alone make for a tedious upload process. The no keywords seems like a huge issue. Every time I've accidentally keyworded an eps 8 file, it breaks it. Not sure if the same is true for eps 10. Although, I don't think Lightroom even imports eps files. So, that's another issue that they didn't even bother to address. Are we going to have to copy and paste all our keywords? Then, there is the whole cmyk thing. I kind of see vector files as print files because of their scalability, so saving them as rgb seems kind of counter to what most buyers might want. I'm mystified who actually wanted this change. It really doesn't make much sense.
I'm thankful that I'm not actively contributing because there is no way I'd even bother with this. So, I guess I can grab my popcorn and watch the show over the next few weeks as this train wreck starts.
