Squeak, as far as I know, they didn't.
I do remember on the forums though, the Motif owners commenting (complaining??) on why the S90es got it but none of the Motif ES line did. And questions asked of Yamaha as to would made available.
I also think one of the stumbling blocks was the actual sample size of that piano and the available (at the time) memory capacity of the Motif line.
The XS of course has no problem with the memory capacity but I suspect Yamaha have moved on.But I have heard that some owners of the XS STILL think the S90es piano is better.
It was (still is) a great piano sample.

EDITED: Sorry Squeak, misread your post. You asked about the XS, I thought ES. My comments above are directed at the ES line.
As for it being available for the XS line, I don't know.
