The upgraded License Agreement in CF8 (with regards to VPS's at least) make it considerably more expensive to offer in a web hosting environment then CF7 was. In CT's defense (which is odd coming from me) I would assume that the money that used to be going to pay for MS SQL Server is now being spent on CF8. Just a guess though. Contrary to popular belief, profit margins for hosting companies are actually quite small, so money has to be managed very carefully.
