JetBrains admit as much in a comment on their blog:

> On the other hand, we think we’ll be able to concentrate on quality more than trying to impress users with new features so they buy upgrades. Our products are more than feature-full and we believe the quality is something that can always be improved.

Translation: We've run out of things that we think you'll actually want to pay for, so we've decided to force you to pay instead.

It's really a shame :(, there's a lot of things that I can still think of, such as a decent Java profiler, a feature competing with JRebel (or far better DCEVM support), etc.
