After some reflection, I think you're definitely right that it's a factor. But I'd still be surprised if it were the primary one, despite what they claim. The developer base is just so huge, any new platform feature is going to have dozens of apps to show it off right away.
Saying that they're doing it to further their platform sounds a hell of a lot better than saying that they're doing it to hurt their competition!

Market tempo matters. Doesn't make what they're doing any more palatable, mind you -- but it does make it more comprehensible (to me, anyway).
