Why do you find that curious?
Tim Curley and Gary Schultz were under indictment; there's no way their attorney would have let Louis Freeh interview them. I know Wick Sollers; there's no way he (and the rest of his colleagues at King & Spalding) would have let Louis Freeh interview Joe Paterno during the brief period that Paterno was alive after Freeh was appointed. Graham Spanier? Same thing. Penn State wasn't even giving Spanier access to the emails Free was reviewing; Spanier's attorneys weren't going to let Freeh interview him.
But Freeh (and by that term I include his associates) interviewed hundreds of others and reviewed over a million documents, including emails, memos, and handwritten notes.
I went into this not trusting Freeh, given his role in Ruby Ridge, Waco, TWA 800, the Centennial Olympic Park Bombing, and so on. However, he had the decency to request that Janet Reno appoint a special investigator on Chinese political contributions to political campaigns during the Clinton reelection.
There are no missing verbal communications, or explanations, to make up for the written communications among Paterno, Curley, Schultz, and Spanier. Freeh knows they are going to become public during the prosecutions of Curley and Schultz, and will become part of grand jury proceedings against Spanier and others at Penn State.
You're living on a dream if you think the Freeh report - added to what we already knew - was anything but a nail in the coffin for Curley, Schultz, Spanier, and Paterno.
They are all scum.
Some here on FR are hesitant because the head coach was a republican and successful?? those FR turds can meet me in the dark at a truckstop in the desert southwest and explain to me that asinine position. The evil imp paterno is in hell regardless off his political contributions. The entire establishment should be burnt down and pissed on and all those involved rounded up and spit on...and worse.
I’m not kidding.
I want the cesspool in penn state shut down and lots of people imprisoned. Im talking nazi war trial kinda shit. Burn the sumbitches at the steak.

I absolutely agree with most of your post. But there is no way to know what may still be missing. My point is only that the full story is not yet known, yet many are jumping to conclusions.
And I still fail to see how a “Final Report” can be issued without interviews of the principals. Interviews of others are generally hearsay. I realize that interviews are not possible now; perhaps a “Preliminary Report” would have been better? My belief is that there is still a “cover-up” here - the Freeh report was issued in the hopes of deflecting further investigation.
I think (again only a theory) that this whole scandal goes much deeper than many imagine, perhaps as far as some high-ranking Government officials. There are too many unanswered question stretching all the way back to the 1998 allegations which were unexplainably dropped.
