of lowering the amount of money one can get from stealing from PCs and stealing at all from shopkeepers? Just trying to find out the motivation.

I wasn't aware of any change to stealing from PCs.

IC, Shopkeepers have to protect themselves from theft or they
go out of business. From the steal helpfile (which was
updated after your post):

Be aware that many shopkeepers in areas with large thief
populations have become very good at detecting, and protecting
themselves from, thieves.


OOC, we'd like the economy to work a little more effectively
and it's hard to do that when every popular shopkeeper is without
money to buy things due to thievery. Shopkeepers can be stolen
from, but there's now a risk involved that may or may not
exceed the value of the reward to you.

Hope that offers some insight.
