Why are some non-OEM updates only available from the OEM update software?

Why are some non-OEM updates only available from the OEM update software? I have a Dell computer, I just did a Windows update check, and it says You're up to date , but then a check with Dell Update application shows an update for Realtek High Definition Audio Driver . I thought all driver providers publish updates to Windows update before anywhere else? What's going on?
