My guess as to why is here:

(in short, Salesforce is looking to make a credible entry into the "public IT cloud provider" sector - much like they signalled with database.com yesterday)

I thought it was interesting that Heroku was specifically mentioned in the Database.com announcement yesterday. Made me think there was some sort of deeper integration. I meant to go to Heroku yesterday and see if there was a database.com plugin. When I saw the announcement today it all made sense.
