I'm not entirely sure who "we" is in this context, but the choice of login manager has, historically, been a distro decision. Reading between the lines I assume what you're actually saying here is that Poky has decided to switch from tinylogin to busybox, which obviously is fine. It's not entirely obvious to me that this is a very compelling reason to remove tinylogin from oe-core, though equally I guess there is no reason it couldn't live in some other layer instead. p.
