Let me give you a clue:
A manager's job is to manage risk and to try to keep everyone as happy as possible whilst also keeping the money flowing. A decision that could piss people off entails risk (i.e. either have no new people join the emu or piss off people who don't want to buy titanium who play with emu quite nicely.). As it was the dev came up with a low risk solution (although FNW did post that things could get a bit more CPU bound supporting more patch levels). This solution was not actually what was being proposed at the time this survey was made - am I right in supposing it was this thread that made devs think "Hey we can make eveyone happy here"? Damn cunning approach to solve problem IMHO.
