I think they had to restart as the films were starting turn into parodies of themselves and were looking dated compared to the competition, the afor-mentioned Bourne for example.
Die Another Day is a case in point it started so well, with the torture scenes and 'has he been turned' premise yet invisble cars, solar heat reflected from space, that blooming robo-suit and Madonna in a pointless cameo served to turn it into a mess.
At the moment, with the films moving away from the pointless gadgets there is little for Q to do.
As for Moneypenny, do we need someone else to trail M around, and flutter her eyelashes at Bond?
