I'm going to back up this point by saying that Apple stopped developing Apple Shake years ago promising a new replacement for it, one that has never been released. No, Motion is not it.

Why would they buy out Nothing Real, sell the product pretty much unchanged for a few years, and then drop it altogether, when it was, at the time, a leading product in its niche?

Apple never promised a replacement for Shake. It was just the usual Apple rumor mill at work.

They bought Nothing Real for people and some technology. A few pieces from Shake were integrated into FCP and Motion, for example optical flow retiming (=smooth slowdown) and image stabilization ("SmoothCam").
