This, that you present as a fact.... is just plain wrong...
You just volontary ignore the big number of theird-party planes and maps developped for free and that appeared in different add-ons, the last beiing 4.09... that helas will probably never see the day in its finished state.
So there was a source... telling there wasn't any is a lie.
officially controled and supported modding, even if most of today's pro-"free"-modding conveniently ignore it, was a reality, that brougth to the game a big number of planes and maps.
I also remember well at that time, asking for help on some forums to built some 3D objects for a map, or for some other stuff, getting no (or sparse) reply and help.... thus showing the lack of appeal of constrainted modding (with rules, quality check and official control).
when the battery of "modding/hacking" tools becomes available to almost everybody, and ruleless/constraintless/controless free modding became possible, modding became more appealing and the big mod mess begun.
I bet 1000 Euros with any taker it will be exactly the same with SoW:BoB.... whatever the quality and oppening of the modding tools in it: as long there will be an official dev control (with dev and quality rules) on what will be fully and officially integrated in the game, we will see some good quality mods... at a slow pace...
... when some hacking tool will be available (hopefully not too soon....), then the crow of modders will mess again...
