Your point is understood, the only problem is you keep assuming that the SDK was never planned from the start. It wasn't advertised at the announcement and it wasn't mentioned at release, but the only people saying Apple was "dead set against it" are the press.
Apple only patched the security flaws used by the hacks to install 3rd party software. There's no reason to get upset over security updates, and there's no reason for them to even bother testing every hack out there or even go out of their way to make sure that it wouldn't brick the damn thing, whether or not they could because when you hack it, it is at your own risk, and that especially applies to firmware hacks.
