This pretty much. Even if they're not officially allowed, there's going to be user created add-ons; a-la ffxi windower.

I'm not sure how many ppl actually did a lot of end-game in ffxi, but nearly a year after windower's release it was common that linkshell leaders and many players used it for it's most simple functions.

Allowing user based add-ons and regulating a mod database creates a whole other community of fans that don't feel alienated by the company. Why SqEx wouldn't want to pull in and hold on to this community is beyond me, these are usually the more friendly and helpful players in the community as well.
