Apple's Answer on Upgrade Pricing

I’d say that this is the best indication of Apple’s intentions and expectations for the App Stores going forward.

a lot of assumptions made for this one niche product, only on the mac app store, for a product that is receiving an update 4 years after the last version was released.

maybe, it's just the fair market value price for a new version of an application?

Another possible factor is that Apple is made up of lots of different teams. It's possible that the Logic Pro X team wanted to provide upgrade pricing, but the app store team (or higher-ups) did not want to permit this.

Without any further information (which we're almost certainly not going to get) it's difficult to tell if this is the case.

Well this is also what they did for Final Cut Pro, iMovie, iPhoto, Garage Band, Pages, Numbers, etc.

It's been a few years, Apple seems happy not to provide upgrade prices. They've had more than a few chances with their own software.
