Lots of misinformation!  WB 3.0 will run just fine on ANY Amiga with a Kickstart 3.1 ROM.  It just won't have the small updates and added features!  With a floppy based A500, you won't even notice the enhancements!

It's like saying you cannot run/install Windows XP SP1 on a PC that came preloaded with Windows XP SP3 because it has a newer BIOS on it!

Reasons I can think:

1.  Its a VERY small market and nobody cares to push it, if you want to be an a$$ complain.
2.  It is hard to find real 3.1 ROMs!  Especially today, you might find some on Vesalia or AmigaKit, but stock is usually low.
3.  Who owns what?  Nobody seems to know anyways.  
4.  But to get completely technical, yes it is pirating.  But it is 2013.  Lets just be real here.  Nobody cares for 25+ year old computer equipment.

I can see it now, can you imagine people bitching and complaining over 1986 PC BIOS copying/selling on vintage 8088 and 286 PC forums.... lol  NOT

Only Amigans make that possible!  ;)

EDIT:  YEP AmigaKit does not sell A600/500/2000 Kickstart 3.1 ROMs
