One of the undeclared reasons might be that upgrading Hotmail size, as the market was pushed by Google, would create the possibility of abuse and use of mailboxes as supplements for HDD GBs, as Gmail is facing already with the advent of GmailFS.
For those who haven't heard, GmailFS is an Linux app that makes a Gmail account to look like a local folder. GmailFS is written in Python, an obvious mark for guys who hate paying for computing. Now they found a way to avoid paying for HDDs. My bet is that such use of the Gmail storage is breaking Google rules, which are strictly against applications that prevent their ads from reaching the users' eyes.
If my idea about Microsoft trying to avoid a new HotmailFS is true, it should be added that the protocol that won't work for free, WebDAV, was never interesting for quick hacks and all the applications I can remember that automates the access to Hotmail are using the classical HTTP, are mimicking a web browser and will continue to work after Outlook's WebDAV will mostly disappear.
On the other hand, no Hotmail for free in Outlook means less Outlook buyers, less lock-in into Microsoft and the death of Outlook plugins such as the fancy RSS readers.
