My Take:
Curse IS greedy. The free version of their updater is crippleware IMO.
WoWM probably should have tried harder to reach some sort of accord with WoWI (I seriously doubt any sort of accord could have been reached with Curse)
WoWI if guilty of anything, is guilly of being run by sheeple, who let Curse talk them into blocking WoWM.
In the end the people who are hurt by this is we the users, because as has been said we have to keep track of addons via multiple sites again. As for the people who loudly proclaim they don't need addon updaters, good for you. Some of us have too many to manually check each addon across 2-3 different sites to see if it works.
Sadly in the end, greed is more important than community, c'est la vie.
