In the email they mention that they're focusing on other parts of the company. My guess is that their lousy quality for recent devices (IME) is causing lots of returns and lots of customer service demands. That costs them money. If the new devices worked better, they wouldn't have these ancillary costs, which are probably the true reason for shutting this all down.
Sounds completely believable. Belkin has undergone so many changes. For anyone else who didn't remember, I just looked it up. They're a subsidiary of Foxconn now, as is Linksys, who Belkin bought from Cisco. Now both are sister companies under the Foxconn umbrella.
