T-Mobile begins blocking iPhone users from enablin...
Because Apple wants to keep their carrier partners happy, so they give them control over things that will have an impact on cellular data.

I can't imagine what kind of leverage they think they have. is any provider going to just drop iPhone support from their network?

These deals are old. FaceTime when it came out was in the era of 3G. FaceTime over 3G could be a bandwidth hog.. and iPhones were not nearly as popular, so the negotiations were more give-and-take.
