I'm guessing it is a corporate decision, that's the way Bondware licences their software, so poser is treated the same way, but I 'm only guessing as I have no experience of other Bondware software.

I believe it was important for Jenn to come out clearly as an attempt to stop threads like this in which some people seem almost intent on persuading others not to buy poser or content by stoking fears about poser stoping working in the future. I don't believe that is their intention but they should really consider what impression they are giving to potential poser users. And it's no excuse to say that it's Bondware's fault, we can all only be responsible for our own actions.
