I got the impression -- hopefully not talking out of school here -- that MVS development dropped everything to do the feature, so there was a distinct cost to IBM, and I think part of the model was that it was to be a chargeable feature.
Customers were saying "we really, really, really need you to do this" so the obvious question becomes "would you be willing to pay for it?" Also I think a certain amount of "if we TELL them it is a bad idea they will go on doing it forever anyway. If we CHARGE them for it perhaps they will make it a priority to stop doing it."
