Well, for all we know, that could be just PR talk to avoid the backlash that this has caused, but it could also be the truth.

Either way, they did the same with the Zaeed DLC on ME2 and it was available for everyone with a new copy of ME2, so I don't see why they went the dick move strategy of putting the From Ashes DLC just for the CE. In any case, Day 1 DLC is simply a money-grabbing scheme, even if it is only a way to maximize their profits, especially since there will be a truckload of DLC coming for ME3 in the future (just look at the history of recent Bioware releases).

I'm not arguing that at all. I'm just saying big publishers like EA, Activision, Square, Ubisoft etc. Are going to to keep pushing this boundary as long as its working them financially.

It's just a bit unfortunate, because even though I like for instance Mass Effect, Deus Ex and Final Fantasy more than most games. The DLC makes the games feel not completely put together, despite being longer and longer and better than other games. They just feel like they would be a bit better if they just finished a cohesive version instead of "lets put this in DLC later" mentallity. But, what can ya do.
