Also, those that are looking to install plugins such as "include PHP" or whatever, likely won't have any issues with manually downloading and uploading a zip file to their WP dashboard anyway.

In a way, I think it's just them saying - you can install plugins from a third party server but "use at your own risk". Now it's no longer their fault when some popular plugin turns out to have an exploit (which they already deemed "risky"). I think they just want to keep the Wordpress core as secure as possible for the average user and get rid of anything that may, even if it's slightly, could potentially cause some sort of risk.
