My guess is that it is too hard to constantly monitor these sites against abuse by spammers. Spammers will use any tool to post links to their illicit products. For instance, if you run a standard PHP bulletin board, you have to be constantly on guard against spammers that will sign up and use the public "profile" space to post links. On Yahoo, I found that spammers would use the calendar associated with bulletin boards to post their links.
I'm surprised that spammers haven't found tiddlyspot yet. Actually, they may have already, and who would know?
