I guess the issue was to make the ages work: Blofeld has to be roughly the same generation as Bond, so why would he kill an old guy? The foster brother thing does work for that and adds a level of nuttiness, I can see why they went for it in a way.

Well, thinking about the original short story, Blofeld in his youth could have needed Oberhauser's help to locate a hidden treasure (say Nazi gold in an Austrian mountain), which he then used to invest in what would become Spectre.

Yeah, that’s nice, you’re probably right.
