Fun fact: a lot of Intel chips (up to the i945 I believe) have fragment
program silicon but none for vertex programs - reality can be really
silly sometimes.

Why? I believe you can e.g. perfectly mix GLSL vertex programs together
with multitexturing setups.

Not really. As Ivan said, VPs and FPs are separate concepts, and
allowing the mixing of types probably leads to a more complete feature
set in the end.
