They could open source the project and lots of developers could put their own take on the platform. It's probably simple to install on GAE (which they can monetize) and they wouldn't have to maintain the reader.

They said in the past that Reader used a lot of internal APIs to fetch, process and store the feeds, some of which may not be exposed even on GAE.
