One obvious problem there is perception (not being in marketing, support, this is on my own behalf and my own thought, not backed by anything :): I believe the prices for those products would be higher. Right now, the reason for the price of the boxed product is that just a certain fraction (I don't know how much) use the support. If everyone did, the price would be higher - it's like insurance that way. If you sell the same support agreement to someone already having downloaded it, chances are they need it.
