2 issues:
1) there are two types of pro apps. One type unlocks existing functionality on an existing app. The other is a totally different app that contains extra functionality. Chaley has said that he doesn't like the first type because it is so easy for pirates to fake the unlocking mechanism. You are correct in that apps that apps that use an unlocker will not have a problem, but apps that are really a separate app will not be able to write to the data directory of the non-pro version if it is stored on the External SD card.
2) Many apps have very limited amounts of data. an app like Supersu doesn't need to store anything on the external SD card, and even if it did, it wouldn't be more than a few meg of data. If a pro version of an app was installed, it could just copy the few meg of data and the user would be none the wiser. I have almost 5GB of books on my SD card. Some people have more and some less. It would not be feasible for the pro version to copy that much data from the standard version's directory to the pro's version. Chances are, Chaley would just force people to re-download their books.
Not a huge deal, but definitely an annoyance.
