Considering the extension of BD to STC, the rationale for having a subway along that stretch of Sheppard is kind of moot.

I disagree. It makes traveling east on Sheppard to STC more attractive as an alternative downtown now that there's no transfer with the SRT. Secondly, one of the main points behind the Sheppard line was to connect two city centres. Now yes, SCC and NYCC have not reached the expectations but I argue that the city needs to do more to grow the centres. Continuing to build office towers almost exclusively downtown is not the best way to go about city planning. A good way to solve congestion is to not make the downtown core the destination for everybody but to have people instead traveling to the suburban centres.
