Yeah I'm sure they were never thinking of releasing trials at all if not for a few threads from PVP players

Forgive me, what I meant was that's why they released trials of Osiris as offering better gear than the prison of elders. "Trials of Osiris" was going to be a thing regardless, but the community certainly had a hand in what it turned out to be. You can even watch the archive of the teaser for trials of Osiris where they say specifically that they designed the rewards for ToO to appease the hardcore pvpers who weren't interested in pve raids.
