I admit to being puzzled about that.

Focusrite maintains a site of beta drivers but doesn't tell anyone; you have to get that URL from other sources. Then, when you try them out and they fail, Focusrite sends you the boilerplate instructions DGA quoted above. Odd, for certain.

The one good thing I can say is that their customer service is superb. And their equipment (OK, that's two things).
