I guess the good reason is that they have to eat and are banking on sales of os4/hardware for a little income? more people using os4emu, less sales i guess? which would be understandable.
In any case, this is something, that should be left for programmers themselves to decide. It's sort of weird how that kind of stuff ends up in also (for example) GPL ports. Not that there aren't people, who did such OS checking GPL ports in the past.
Just curious, how hard would it be to remove such check from an OS4 exe? Few NOP's or JMP at right place might (or might not) do wonders. As it wouldn't be THAT much of an issue, if author at least had a choice about that...
