In Short: Because they can
Initially RTAS was created as a plugin format for the non-pros and when native power did not allow for very much flexibility.
TDM plugs are dependant upon programming that will run on their proprietary hardware cards. A professional would certainly pay more for a plug to run on their prorietary system if they didn't have any options.
One of the big factors behind an HD Rig is the ability to run plugs on your HD card without taxing Native power. Remember up until recently there were restrictions on using RTAS plugs in a TDM enviroment (i.e. you couldn't use them on a buss etc..) so as an HD user you were sort of stuck if you wanted to add new plugs.
