Can you imagine how many different types of units people would create and how seemingly endless the game could be if modding units and the maps was available to all of us? People would make a mod that is twice the size both KB:AP and TL put together as well as a wide array of units and items. People already do it without the game editor. That might be bad business for the company though. If everyone is creating stuff, what ideas would be left for them for the next game?

How is that bad business? MODs can keep the players hooked to the game til the next expansion or game or even, if the users create good enough material, interest new players. Keeping an active community is always good for any game. User created content is never bad business.
Look at the new Starcraft 2 editor. Shit is so powerful its basically a game making tool. People that arent into RTS are getting interested on SC2 just for the editor.
