Presumably they're hoping that the administrative hassle of having dozens of "shops" will force their customers into opening a single premium shop before it gets that far out of hand. That isn't necessarily too far off base, seeing that in most cases a successful line of branding could pay for the subscription price before you really needed to have two coffee mug styles, while a not-successful line probably wouldn't need two designs in any given category anyway.
