I think there are some genuine things to take into consideration:

1) many countries have a form of child safeguarding policies and laws;

2) logic isn't what always wins in courts. Sometimes it is emotions that win the day especially if a jury gets to decide;

3) it can be argued that warnings aren't sufficient and more should have been done since the game encourages you to explore beyond your home;

4) it can be argued that the app allows you to harass people by attracting Pokemon to their home / business and therfore cause a disturbance;

I personally think it's a good thing Nintendo are distancing themselves from the app as much as they can. It might be partially due to some of the things which have happened and at least now they can say they are not responsible and have pointed it out on several occasions.
