"..........it provided a structure within the Catholic Church for groups of former Anglicans who wished to preserve elements of their heritage." Then why in the name of all that's holy is the Tridentine Mass so persecuted?

They don't want anyone asking this question! It is also a clear refutation (along with e.g. the Zaire Use") to the idea that there is a "unique Roman rite".

The enemy dislikes Latin (this is what I hear from people who seem like they know what they are talking about) and I don't think that is anything like the entire reason but it might be a wee small thumb on the scale.
I don't think the enemy cares much about Latin either way. I've heard an exorcist comparing the new Rite exorcisms and the old ones, and he said the old ones were more efficacious than the new, even if the new ones were said in Latin and the old in a good English translation. It's about what the actual prayers asked for and how they asked it.
The trouble is that the Tridentine Mass preserves and passes on Tradition, which contains Divine Revelation, which the enemy absolutely detests, and it does it to far more people than the Anglican Use and most of the Eastern Churches combined (I suspect more than all of them combined if you count the diocesan Masses and SSPX and not just FSSP and ICKSP). It's worldwide and it's growing, and it's affecting people who don't even assist at it. That combination makes it a major threat.
What's more, the last round of suppression of the TLM produced a lot of angry, wounded people who did and said a lot of uncharitable, hurtful things. When a trick works well once, why not try it again?
