because at the end of the day everything revolves around $$$ and VM want a product which they can support 100%. I am sure there is a very good statistic showing that 80% of tech support calls are non-connection issue orientated and VM want to be able to support the routing side of things as well. They did a cheap ass job with the shub, didnt test it properly and rushed it through and there have been no end of problems with it which should have been picked up on prior to general release. They are working their way through them with numerous firmware upgrades but this has been going on for over a year and a half.

This is why you still see many posts on the forum about the shub and new users having wireless issues (unaware of the drama) and many of us being blunt and recommending putting it in modem mode and buying a proper router which you know is going to work out the box as it should do.
