That's factually incorrect.
iTunes -- the complete application -- is available from apple.com for download.
At first glance, it looks like the iDVD application is available for download, too -- if you stop reading in the middle of the first line on the page.
If you continue reading that first line, you'll find that what you can download from apple.com is really the updater to version 2.1 from version 2, which you can only get with your SuperDrive-equipped Mac.
How about if they didn't let people download it at all, SuperDrive or no, and shipped it exclusively with SuperDrive-equipped Macs? In fact, one of the system requirements for iDVD is " Any Power Macintosh G4 or G4 iMac equipped with a built-in Apple SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW drive)."
Except that iDVD is not free when purchased with a superdrive equipped Apple computer. It is a free download available to anyone right now.

If Apple said, "You are only allowed to download this software if you've got an Apple installed SuperDrive", then they'd be in the clear.
