Maxon Acquired Redshift offers it as subscription only option to C4D users.

No reason to support a free engine like ProRender when you squeeze more money from C4D users with Redshift.?

This is certainly one aspect, especially since RedShift was bought up by Maxon. But I doubt that Maxon would have stopped supporting ProRender if it was the one super good render engine. To be fair, RedShift is one of the few remaining commercial renders that has a permanent license without a call home option.
