Look what I missed closing! I'll leave it open (I thought this was in the Bug Reports section) but I'll add the update I got from the team.
Volatile Portals change over time and give a bonus when they're scanned. While it was not intentional to remove ALL Volatile Portals, that's what happened so there were no Volatile Portals to scan for bonus points - so no backfill to provide.
It would have been nice to have the Volatiles during the double AP event. I spent a whole afternoon scanning in portals with the intent of uploading them during the event while using an Apex to get +2000ap per upload, but when the Volatiles disappeared for the duration of the event that meant no +3 to scout controller on many of them. I was forced to choose between the AP or waiting and maximizing my possible scout controller points.

Wow, I checked map and scanner before I posted - nada.
Today - tadaaa!
Maybe they saw my post and said: oh yeah, we forgot to flip that switch.
Volatile Portals / Scout Ornaments are back on Intel.
Closing this thread and merging with the other.
Scout Controller volatiles are back
What do you think this is? Pokémon GO?
I still have hope...more than my ability to post a gif.
