They can be reused accordingly and often are.
Where has such use been intentional? I've only seen cases where a reuser also publishes user pages just because they were included along with articles.
I don't have proof, but I suspect they're intentionally reused in articles. 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.
Also, consider that many articles are developed in user subpages. This is another reason why we should be consistent with all licenses all throughout Wikipedia.
