Actually, that is quite clear - it's because the carriers that had it disabled want to sell data services so you end up paying to listen to streaming radio instead of listening to free radio OTA. It has nothing to do with quality. GSM owners say the FM radio is uselessly poor-quality, but GSM is more of a world market than CDMA and carriers have more competition in terms of devices since you can buy nearly anything you can pop a SIM in and use it.
