Things like Push, the new so-called 'browser' and lots of the little changes they have forced upon users with no option to revert back to pre-Live 9 behavior are pretty good indicators of this change in attitude.
If you remember back, one of the reasons it took so long for them to actually make a dedicated controller for Live is because they said they didn't know how to approach the creation of a one size fits all controller because of all of the different workflows that users had. Now not only do they have a dedicated controller, but seem to be designing the program to fit the workflow of this new controller.
Personally, I don't need Ableton to make a controller, there are plenty of amazing controller options out there. I need them to make Live faster, more efficient, and more flexible.
I'm still on Live 8.

My guess is that they also want to accelerate their sales of live packs. However, they needed a platform to host that endeavor. I guess its good to have multiple streams of revenue.
I'm not giving up hope on them just because I don't see enough there for an upgrade though. But at this point and time, my experience with the browser alone was enough for me to put my credit card away and await either some serious update or the next version.
