That seems kinda ridiculous that my interface would be dead in the water.

iTunes plays through the interface just fine so the driver is current. I partitioned my drive and still have 10 running on the other side. Am I going to have to switch to 10 every time I want to use my interface?
That is correct. If you want to use Protools Thunderbolt/HD interfaces, it will only work with Protools Ultimate. It will work with other software as a standard Core Audio interface, as you have discovered, but it requires Ultimate to work with Protools.

This has always been the case with HD interfaces and systems, and is nothing new.

You may want to consider buying one of the still available (at Sweetwater) Protools Ultimate Reinstatement plans. That will upgrade you to Protools Ultimate while allowing you to keep your license for HD10. At least I'm pretty sure. Contact Sweetwater for more info.
