If you followed either series, then you would know that bending has applications in everyday life and to just remove everyone's bending would cause damage to infrastructure. Look at Omashu. They use earthbending as a delivery system. Ba Sing Se? Transportation. Even in Republic City, there are people who spend hours lightning bending in power plants so that others may have power. Bending isn't just some tool for people to use. It's their way of life.
