I think this was the correct decision given many people not being able to travel to the meeting and the spread of COVID-19.   I found this article earlier today that makes a good case for canceling meetings:

Kudos to the IESG and IRTF chair for making this difficult decision.

This decision is based on input we gathered from Working Group (WG) and Research Group (RG) chairs about our ability to hold productive WG and RG sessions at IETF 107. Our assessment of this feedback is that a majority of sessions would not be viable if we were to hold the in-person IETF meeting. On this basis, we believe we cannot hold an effective in-person meeting.

We are also planning to support an increased volume of virtual interim meetings during the weeks that follow. We will send another update to the community soon with more information about these plans. The Hackathon organizers are also considering plans for virtual Hackathon support.
