If there is a valid reason, Apple has done a lousy job of explaining 
it.  However, OSX is only installable on certain systems and there 
are several hacks around that and some of them were out within days 
of it's final release.  I would suspect the same will happen if Apple 
goes through with this Draconian move.  I also suspect that the once 
"firm" deadline of January is now a nebulous deadline of July; IOW, 
it may quietly go away.

One of the things I really miss from the early days of Jobs' return 
to Apple is their ability to admit errors... for some reason they 
have moved back to the American Government philosophy that admitting 
you made a mistake is a sign of weakness, so never, never do it.

It would be really refreshing for Jobs to walk out on the Macworld 
stage in January and say, "Boy we really screwed up! We have this 
great new OS and outstanding hardware, and we made some bone head 
marketing decisions that caused our users to completely lose sight of 
that.  We are going to change that starting now."
