I believe it is the biggest reason, from what I've read in meego.org
Do you have some other information?
Having rpm-support, N950 would be easily upgraded to newer version Meego-components and Meego-applications could be installed by an end user easily. Now practically as it seems to come with Maemo6, users should do a community based switch to real Meego in some point and it will cause problems and confusion.
