It's just pure economics.

By disabling some little-used features and then making a higher-price 
version with these features, they get more money from the rich people, 
whilst still selling a cheap 99% functioning camera to everyone else. 
That's an extreme way of looking at it, but you get the idea.

Any company with their head screwed on right does this, car manufacturers 
have been selling mechanically identical cars with different software for 
vastly different prices for ages.
