Easy,
NO that is not the reason, the patent ran out a long time ago.
The reason that r12 was not made illegal but rather ceased production over the 'proof' that the CFC's like r12 were depleting the Ozone layer over the south pole. It was because of the Montreal Protocol, which like the Kyoto agreement, that the time line was put into effect and had a built in system to 'help' countries to get rid of their r12 use with much of the money coming from us.
Oh and the generator burning out bearing may be because the generators are using cheap grease. A number of generators I seen on a few APUs were from a Chinese source and these units need to be disassembled, the bearing taken apart, cleaned and greased with the proper grease.
