It's much simpler than that:
HW 1.00 calcs weren't made with AMS v2.00 in mind, and the hardware is
configured so that only so much space can be used as archive mem - the rest
is only usable if it is flashed in from a computer, hence flash apps can
fill that space.
According to Paul, TI decided to "upgrade" the HW 2.00 calcs while fixing
the security chip, and their flash ROM can be partitioned by the software
somehow. We're complaining about them making HW 1.00 worse, while they view
it as making HW 2.00 better. I think it was just good intentions leading to
a poor decision.
