What do you base the "easily given us" part on. Any facts, insider info that shows Apple was ready to release this but held back? And perhaps the size of the 7 Plus has something to do with room to place two cameras in the phone. Might that be reason enough the 7 did not get duel cameras?
At some point, if you want to hit your manufacturing date for 10s of millions of iPhone you have to call a halt to changes. Solidify the design and proceed to manufacture it. Every week that goes by you could add something more, make it a little bit better, and never deliver a single phone.

Right and GM, Ford, Toyota, Samsung, Microsoft, all talk about things they didn't do in a new product launch. We have this marvelous new product, we could have made it even better but didn't. And our new product has these limitations. So please buy our new product with the following missing parts that make it less than ideal. We know you will just love it. See page two of specifications sheet for all the limitations and things we decide to leave out. We have more on our left out sheet, than the competition. So why not buy two, so you get twice as little. Other companies would be climbing over each other to hire the keynote writer that came up with that.
I dont think you read the article from 9to5mac i posted above, the KGI Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who has a nearly solid track record of providing precise insider info on apple's plans for future product releases says that apple did not include OIS on the telephoto lens because they plan to include it in the next iPhone release (iPhone 7S? iPhone 8? or whatever they may call it), That's the issue.
The fact that there is an analyst that already has this information is beyond staggering to me, because up until now nobody even knew the Telephoto lens has no OIS and now not only do we know the iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have OIS in the telephoto lens, We know that the next iPhone IS going to have that feature added, its already part of the planned "Upgrade" to the Dual Camera in the future iPhone. They are going to need to improve the camera somehow in the next iPhone and "OIS in the Telephoto lens" sounds like a pretty darn good upgrade.
And since you mentioned the 4.7inch iPhone 7, I'm Sure they could have somehow added the Dual Camera in it this year but they need a selling point for the Plus Model and the Dual Camera is it's killer feature and they clearly held back and gave the smaller iPhone 7 a single lens camera instead,
Thats exactly what they did last year where the Plus Model of the iPhone 6 and 6S was the only Model that had OIS and the smaller iPhone didn't, What was the reason the smaller iPhone 6 didn't have OIS back then? and now this year the smaller iPhone 7 suddenly has OIS but once again, lacks a major feature compared to the Plus Model, The entire Dual Camera Configuration.
The smaller iPhone will not get a dual camera next year either as the analyst reports so they will be keeping the dual camera configuration strictly to the Plus Model.
I preordered a 128GB Jetblack iPhone 7 Plus the other night when preorders went live knowing that the Camera is going to be a killer feature but finidng out that its missing a crucial feature such as OIS in one of it's lenses is certainly a turn off for me at this point, Im sure its going to be a fantastic phone and an excellent camera regardless, I'm just disappointed Apple would pull this sort of a dirty trick on it's customers.
