You don't necessarily need a 7.5 tonne licence to drive a van over 3500kg, I can drive up to 7.5 tonne on my car license, but if you drive a van over 3.5T commercially, then you need an operators license, which brings all sorts of complications, and expense, to a small business.
This is precisely why there are so many overloaded 3.5T vans, and trucks, out there on the road.
