Juventus being demoted is what hurt this league, now that they've righted the ship Italian teams will begin to benefit from them.
It certainly hurt in regard to losing the CL spot and TV marketing of higher profile matches in the past few years.
Milan or Inter being demoted would have been as bad.
The league's certainly better if clubs like Roma, Napoli, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, etc challenge for titles / CL positions but all of the big three at least being in that mix is necessary.

I think a big issue also deals with a lack of young Italian talent emerging during the post-Calciopoli era. I mean the best Italian players right now are in the aging fast to really old range (Pirlo, Buffon, De Rossi, Chiellini). Most of those guys are stalwarts from 2006.
It's still the fourth best league in the world, and normally possesses three teams that can compete for the Champions League title annually.
I mean look at the Champions League winner since 2006 (Post-Calciopoli):
2007: AC Milan
2008: Manchester United
2009: Barcelona
2010: Internazionale Milano
2011: Barcelona
2012: Chelsea
Italian clubs have the same number of titles as English clubs.
