As you said, Nexon's main income today comes from the various cubes and scrolling aids (hammers, shields, wards, etc).
The cost of a perma pet, with all its gear, and perma hyper rock and safety charm, doesn't even come close to the cost of scrolling and cubing one serious weapon.
I believe that if people could use their existing pet and other stuff on their new chars, it would encourage them to continue those characters beyond level 70 (or whatever the link skill or special item requires), and get to the point where they want to invest in better gear. As well as 2x cards, nicer hair and face, different clothes, and so on.
So, by having a single cash shop inventory, Nexon actually stands to make more money, while appearing generous and pleasing its playerbase.
