I think the argument is this device appeals to a wider (and arguably much stupider) audience than their previous Maemo devices so they figured anyone who knew enough to want to install additional .debs could easily do so via the command line.

Do you see the contents of some of these threads? There are n900 users that have bricked their devices simply by installing too many applications. Nokia is just probably trying to avoid a ton of unnecessary tech support.
