VIA and USB 2.0 weirdness - why won't they support their product?

From VIA Arena . . .

WinXP - Due to licensing agreements, USB 2.0 drivers are not available for download. USB 2.0 drivers are supplied on CD with new mainboards. If you have misplaced the driver CD or have questions about the USB 2.0 driver, please contact your motherboard manufacturer or Microsoft.

Win2K - Due to licensing agreements, USB 2.0 drivers are not available for download. USB 2.0 drivers are available through Windows Update.
 
The OS's had the drivers added after their relase to support USB 2.0 and I believe MS worked out an arrangement with VIA on the matter because at that time their USB 2.0 chipset was an add on to the Mobo's instead of intergrated with the new released ones
