From the looks ofd that discussion, the main object was that it would
lead to content forks, or organizing related articles. The possible use for specific types of auxiliary content, source as references or data, does not seem to have been discussed there. I notice Larry Sanger as a major participant--and Citizendium currently does use subpages for those purposes among others.

That is, is the decision to turn off subpages just at technical decision because of the problem it causes for articles like [[OS/2]]?
It wasn't just a technical decision. The discussion about why it was done can still be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Case_against_subpages and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Get_rid_of_subpages_entirely and other pages on meta linked from those.
