Default Why is there a transfer case for 450H?

I thought we didn't have a direct mechanical linkage between the front transaxle and the rear. Yet. I see this part https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...100-48052.html You can see here that there is a version for the hybrid. I thought the transfer case is to send power to the rear and front axles via the central shaft. Since there is no central shaft on our cars, what is this part doing???

It is likely an error. Did you find any other site that made the same claim as to compatibility?

I put my VIN number on the order page. It says it is not compatible.
