The VIA C7 already had hardware SHA1 and was released 4 year ago.
However support for this hardware feature in software is much more recent.

But until the real world can use it, it is pretty useless (by definition).
An optimized hardware implementation tends to use its own unique interface. Even if two years later a standard has emerged, you can't simply modify existing units.
E.g.: Wouldn't you like to see SHA-512? Well, by the time they finish adding it, we'll already have a SHA-3 out.
