The author of koma-script complained about the inclusion of his package
to MikTeX.
no, Markus never complained, that his package is part of miktex.
He doesn't like it, when his distribution is split into several
parts, just as MiKTeX does.
MikTeX has a different (but very user friendly) package
handling in comparison to teTeX that the MikTeX people wouldn't change.
the package handling of MiKTeX is not user-friendly! is is _better_
than nothing, as for teTeX, but MiKTeX ghandles only packages, which
are part of the MiKTeX base, other packages must be installed
by the user. The problem is not KOMAscript and not MiKTeX, the problem
are the two maintainers ...
Therefore MikTeX comes with a slightly older version of koma-script
(because the old license of the package allows it) but not in the
smallest (basic) installation.
I don't know what happend for VTeX.
VTeX has nothing to do with MiKTeX ...
