That's the mistake you are making. This isn't about what is possible it's about what they are willing to spend time (and therefore money) on. The HD2 was also capable of running WP7 but it didn't get it, it got updated to 6.5 only. Nokia and MS are trying to sell phones and they think they can do it by ignoring those who they've already sold to and making them buy the new phone. There will no doubt be low end WP8 in the future. Lumia 900 would not be one of them though.
