YouTube has little to no competition right now. By kicking blender out, they're forcing blender to promote an alternative to YouTube.

  That is potentially the real story here, IMO. Ton has a track record of doing amazing things with impossibly small amounts of money. Given that his interests are in (video) content production, I'm not sure YouTube really thought through how this could play out...

    Actually the timing (near EU upload filter laws) seems to indicate they didn't dare do this before, and fully realized this danger.

      Not sure what the EU filter laws have to do with anything here?
