1. This is untrue, bordering on slander. There are certainly batei din that have little respect for what potential converts are going through and impose needless delays. However, most take a long time to fully acclimate a potential convert to the Jewish community

2. And I say this as having a long track record opposing certain political developments in Orthodox conversions.
3. Even before these changes, serious batei din would often have conversions be a year so that a potential convert could experience the entire Jewish calendar and become acclimated/integrated in the community
4. You also had "conversion factories" where for $5000 you'd be Jewish in 6 months regardless of where you were or what you're doing.
5. Even in the new system, there are def batei din who care little about the individual converts. There are also those who care very much.
Expected length of time has zero correlation with care or priority.
