Again: Nothing has changed. EVERYBODY is paying for JDU at launch by paying the cost of the Gold Edition instead of the normal edition. Ubisoft makes no less money this year than last year. It would make no sense for Ubisoft greedily then ignore JDU 'til January.

For one thing, you get 3 months of free JDU upon your first login online with the game. So copies sold in January would also get 3 months of free JDU. I.e. anyone seeing good songs advertised on JDU in January would get to play them for free for 3 months anyway! For another, such business practices would hurt them in the long run due to bad will among early adopters.

And most importantly: By the time January comes 'round, the game will see a price drop. Ubisoft would lose money on enticing a lot of new customers in January compared to hooking them early by having big names and songs avaulable on JDU early in the game's lifespan.

I don't know why we haven't received any JDU update yet this year, but the reason certainly isn't some evil plan to wait 'til January unless Ubisoft is now staffed with monkeys because such a strategy loses them money.
