I know there was a ton of concern since they leave behind UEO pretty badly on their own land. Using them for drone-delivered-precision weapons is pretty brilliant.

AFAIK, the main reason was to fill a shortage of standard artillery shells and to help clear trenches. Disassembly, as you can see, is somewhat dangerous.

The main reason was it looks good for PR and countries that donated them no longer want to maintain a weapon they can't use.

I'll agree with the second half of your statement. Storage and disposal is expensive.

I doubt this is why, but I'm sure it's better used that way if they do it.
