So that when people see them, they realize the SE versions look better and they'll buy those instead? Oops - both versions are included, so you can't buy one without the other anyway.
So that when people watch the grainy version, they decide it's bad and only watch the SE versions from then on? Well, that also gains no sales since they are both included so who cares which one you actually watch?
If they included the OUT to try and shut up the fans who have been shouting for it, then purposefully degrading the image would not do the trick, since now people are going to shout for a non-grainy version.
So unless I'm missing another motive, for Lucasfilm to purposefully degrade the image quality only hurts them. There is no benefit for them at all. Therefore, why would they spend the extra time, effort, and money to do that?
