Where did this rumor come from?

Part of it is the fair assumption that nobody would sell something that can reproduce itself without some sort of copy protection, and part of it is likely as you suggested about it being to increase sales. The thing that is confusing to me is how such a rumor would continue to be believed by those who have gardened for even a couple years. Often times it doesn't even take effort to disprove, I've grown a few tomato plants on accident just from overripe fruit that fell, and my green onions are grown from a couple plants that got too old to eat the stalks of that I let go to seed.
