Because people see them on Wikipedia, they think that the images must be OK for use in Wikipedia articles. I strongly suspect this because I almost did so myself. Had I not decided to double-check the license, I would have. Many others won't double-check the license before referencing images in the article space.
Why the hell would anybody want to use an image from a user page in an article? The images Ive been talking about are of Wikipedians. Having images on user pages that could validly be used in articles in not something I support at all since Wikipedia is not a web page provider. Perhaps we have been talking past each other on this point.
