Actually no compromises with iPhone 6. Even T-mobile's iPhone 6 does not support band 12.
Verizon uses bands 4 and 13 as you point out.
T-mobile uses bands 2 and 4 and roaming on 5. It will use band 12 in future (spectrum obtained from Verizon)
The Verizon iPhone 6 supports 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29
So the iPhone 6 supports all the bands in current use. There is no compromise. As far as band 12, even the T-mobile iPhone does not support band 12, so again no compromise.
I did not make a comment on the ethics of the deal, just answered the question posed.
