The difference is irrelevant.
Canon could have, and should have, continued to sell FD mount cameras 
for longer than the couple of years after the introduction of the EOS, 
or engineered the EOS mount in such a way that FD lenses were also 
mountable to the new cameras.

It's not much of a technical problem to keep making something that you 
already make, though it is more of a technical problem to make something 
that is backwards compatable with old technology equipment.

Why can't you understand that long term support of the lenses is of 
utmost importance?
I mean, you did say it, after all.
