From a business standpoint you would expect the next installment to have native mouse & keyboard support for all available platforms. It could be taken as a warning sign to investors of the internal structure of Electronic Arts, if it doesn't.
I say it's a warning sign for a couple of reasons.
One marketing. It would be odd to try to market to the same audience as Call of Duty, but then offer less features.
Second, Usability. It would be odd to drive more to your product, but your product doesn't offer the support for specific players' needs.
Third, Required skills to implement. If the team/s behind the project don't have the required skills to implement said support, it could be taken as a warning sign from investors.
We are past consoles only supporting controllers, and we are long past personal computers only supporting mouse & keyboard.
On a more personal note. Having mouse & keyboard native support should help alleviate the ever growing presence of 3rd party devices like the Cronus-Max / Zen.
