True, but there's still a difference: One organization will homogenously use a single distributor/vendor/update channel within itself, sure. But different organizations might use different vendors, or even different sections of an organization if they're bureaucratically separated enough (e.g. not sharing budgets and IT staff).

Presumably so that Microsoft doesn't get bad press, and maybe due to (shady but arguable) legal implications. Oh wow.
