The point he was trying to make is, that one _may_ need (or want to stick to) the "native" FTDI drivers. This may be because one wants to use the other channel as a normal UART (speak use the virtual com port)
You can use normal UART on the second channel without any problems! This myth is going on forever! You can install two completely separate drivers for two channels of FT2232 - libusb-win32 for JTAG channel and ftd2xx for UART channel. OpenOCD does not care about second channel (yet).
or some other closed source tools or there may even be no possibility to install libftdi drivers to the machines (due to firm policies) and one _must_ stick to the FTDI drivers.
Such policies are usually made as a protection from proprietary illegal (cracked) software. I don't know whether an IT admin would refuse to install completely free driver in the system.
