Because by RAW it does state that any movemt in any hex you threaten provokes an AOO. Read the Spring Attack Feat - it specifically states that "Moving in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender you attack". It very specifically notes that the movement of the attacker does not provoke AoO's from the defender. Note that other AoOs from other actions taken by the attacker would not be negated by the Spring Attack Feat (such as initiating a grapple, attempting a disarm, etc. . . ). If Thicket of Blades generates AoOs based on the attacker's movement, then Spring Attack would still negate them.
