Probably they started getting more and more requests for CF hosting and hastily slapped something together since they realized they were losing potential hosting customers. I don't suspect they'll ever provide the necessary support and knowledge to become competitive with other more established CF hosts. However I guess if you have a site with a couple cfmails and a cfinclude or two, and no sensitive data, it's a cost effective solution.
