The same reason the majority of us hang on these forums and provide daily assistance to your questions: we enjoy doing it. Some of the companies that provide free software also make money off of website ads, while others provide free products, but also make money by selling "professional" versions of the software that have more features and would cost you money to purchase. The freeware products can be just as up-to-date as products that require a fee.
