Because combined with other measures it suits their needs. One of the keys to successfully running spamassassin is to hook it up to as many DNS blacklists as possible, where you configure only the few blacklists that you trust unconditionally for blocking and the rest to add points to the score. The only thing you should be carefull with is that many DNS blacklists include eachother, e.g. XBL includes CBL, and you don't want them to score double.
