Much like they don't give out free gold accounts, etc.

The crackdown on 1.39 seemed to have more to do with who was using it than with making money. They were the hardest on it when they had the least money to lose (back when it was pretty much free and there were no paid server rentals) and have become progressively more apathetic towards it the more it could potentially threaten profits (introduction of total p2p, paid server rentals, etc.)
