Because while most people are sitting on their couch playing Wrath of the Drunken Clan Monkeys, members of the Linux and the Open Source community are hard at work developing GPL software, patches and fixes. Developers benefit from this and eventually so do end users of commercial software. And software like Vuescan, which is ported for Linux, will benefit from the input by active Linux developers. They have paid some of their dues already, and the author of Vuescan is acknowledging that. Anyway, it's not that big a freebie since there are other printer and scanner drivers already developed for Linux (and free, too.)
