Because they might feel a need to identify themselves as part of
Wikimedia. Yes, there is much talk about use of Wikimedia trademarks
here, but I think that that is because it is the major, if not only,
legal consequence of association or affiliance. If an organization has
no need for Wikimedia marks, the necessity of it being an associate or
affiliate would be much less.

What makes you think they do?
