The people who own MySQL (it is proprietary BTW) did not allow us to redistribute the latest JDBC MySQL driver for free. If I recall, they wanted quite a bit of money. Since *you* could download it for free, and we had the older version that could work[1] with the newer servers if you change the authentication method, we stuck with that. The good news is that we expect to enhance our support for MySQL in Scorpio, the next major release of CF.
