The real question is, if DMM is afraid of uniques in our version stealing their playerbase, why did they agree to potentially make new brides in the first place? They didn't think about that? Well, tough luck. It's not kindergarten, you can't just say "Ah, screw it.", take everything back and it's as if nothing happened. (Oh, wait... It seems you can.)
Or Nutaku just didn't bother to ask them?

Looks like they didn't ask and assumed they could replicate the popularity bride contest without thinking that if different girls get selected someone has to draw them out, or they thought it was not going to be an issue and still didn't ask. It really isn't that big of an issue, other than another company telling you what you need to do, which like I said it is most likely the reason it got cancelled.

I'm guessing Nutaku looked at the potential costs of hiring those big name 6* artists, got really pale and quickly pulled the plug. On the way out, they decided to shift the blame to JP Devs, who we will never hear their side of the story

Doesn't really make sense to me to have this event in the first place if they didn't think they could afford those artists.

Nutaku has always been lacking in forethought.

From the News section:

How, precisely, will this gacha work? Will the winners be the only possibilities, or is it going to be a priority gacha with the same lame 0.5% chance to get a 6* as always? A priority gacha seems an insufficient response to revoking the original reward halfway through the event. This was an exceptional screw-up...the compensation should be equally exceptional.

At the start of the event:
Flower Knight Girl developers told Nutaku that they would get 3 new brides.
Nutaku told us that we would get 3 new brides.

Today:
Flower Knight Girl developers told Nutaku today that we would not get any new brides. (reasons unknown as of this time)
Nutaku is blamed, at least initially. We'll see how things progress from here, although being honest I sincerely doubt we'll ever know why they cancelled the whole thing. We'll probably just be compensated and be on our way.

Compensated with a new wonderfull gatcha lol !!

Basically, this ^ it was an exceptionally unprofessional move whomever requested the cancellation. As it has been mentioned, the jp version would have recieved our version of the brides eventually = not unique content for us. Would love to see them admit to the whole reason behind the backpeddle, as jp devs surely must have realised they would get the brides we voted for eventually?
