This wasn't disclosed by any of the Arcteryx's representatives to my side, but now I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Short answer is yes, they did have a strategy. What they were really thinking? Did Arcteryx really mess up or did they instead have a greater strategy behind this? You can also see this in their Arc'teryx Naming Scheme Page here, for both Atom and Proton.

Some people even look at as if Arcteryx SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT since introducing two lines of products in the very same lane is rightfully considered counter productive - not to even mention the opportunity cost and the loss of extra time & resources. So why the hell would Arcteryx go the extra mile and release a completely new line instead of improving the already existing Atom line? I mean, before t he Proton line was introduced, Arcteryx already had a line of jackets meant specifically for high output activities: The Atom line.
