yup, it's to stop people from using mods
It's hard for them to monetize features if they don't kill mods now. Here's an example - they're selling avatar favorites slots in vrc+, but there are mods that do that too, for free. Some of their investors are highly interested in virtual currency and would like to use vrc as a platform to expand on that.

If they want to expand monetization, they need to kill mods. They've really let the problem grow too much already, the backlash would not be as widespread as it is now if they'd killed it months ago.
