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.
Yes, but afaik they still expose the "hardware" OpenGL interfaces,
which is what we're talking about here.

Why? I believe you can e.g. perfectly mix GLSL vertex programs together
with multitexturing setups.
ARB as in ARB_vertex_program or ARB_fragment_program, I'm not sure
what multitexturing has to do with it. You can't, for example,
properly use ARB_fragment_program together with a GLSL vertex shader.
(You might be able to get away with it due to the way GLSL is
implemented on a specific implementation, but you're certainly not
supposed to).
allowing the mixing of types probably leads to a more complete feature
set in the end.
Except that there are no actual meaningful combinations to make.
