"I was looking at the rum turbo yeast and the directions say ""Due to the high osmotic pressure of molasses, it is not advised to ferment above 10-11% abv when using only diluted molasses.""
I am wondering why?"

Because the high osmotic pressure will inhibit the yeast from being able to do its job (ie. ferment).
