So far as I can tell, it's a "we don't have time to mess around with people who don't want to spend $600 for a WAP" message.
That may be the case. But as I remember (both from my own analysis and others presented here), the Linksys APs are relatively dirty in output, especially past the ends of channels 1 and 11. I'd suspect that a 500mW amp is enough to put these outside of compliance. Perhaps the good folks (:) right) at Hyperlink are just concerned with the FCC?

FWIW, I've found Teletronics to be a bit less pricey for a product that costs far less than $100 to produce:
