Because those already existed before the SD only boxes were withdrawn and before the new UKTV deal.
Also Gold HD has only existed on Virgin Media after the official withdrawal of the SD only boxes, and is also in the same TV pack as the HD version. Dave SD is not current in the same TV pack as Dave HD, which is why those two are still around.
But eventually I don't see any technical reason why most SD channels aren't swapped out for the HD versions. The only reason SD would remain is either because there isn't an HD regional version (BBC, ITV etc), or because the content agreement requires it to be there.
