It seems to me the reverse.

We are very machmir against eating chometz after chatzos, and to insure that we don't do so, we stop eating chametz two hours *before* chatzos.

We are also machmir against keeping chametz around after chatzos, but not as much as by eating. We see this in the deadline for biur being only *one* hour before chatzos.

There's a whole hour during which we are machmir on eating but meikil on owning. (Not only does this disprove what RRW seems to be saying, but it is particularly surprising if both eating and owning are "mere" lavin from chatzos until evening.)
