Yeah, I think it's two things probably.
1. AT&T's data network (and network in general) just isn't great and just can't handle all this data traffic so they're hoping to drive heavy users (and tethering is heavier use typically than phone only use) away.
2. Apple has probably made it clear that they won't sign another exclusivity agreement for iPhone when the deal is up in 2012 (they'd be stupid to since going to more carriers allows them to sell more hardware), so AT&T isn't going to cater to them at all and doesn't care about pissing them or their fans off anymore.
