PC manufacturers generally like to test patches before their applied to their sofware builds. Microsoft "may" have done enough testing to make sure that SP2 doesn't fudge XP, but did they test it with the countless different software builds that OEM's use? I think Microsoft has enough trouble with QA on their own software as it is.
Give the OEM's a few months (typically 1 or 2 releases) and they will start shipping PCs with Windows XP SP2.
