Because deposit libraries don't actually expend a lot of effort tracking down small publishers who don't send them a copy, beyond perhaps a letter if they find out they exist (perhaps years after the fact). Because deposit libraries don't have money either.

At one point I ran across some refences on scams involveing vanity publishers. One of the things even these "publishers" did was send a copy to the british libiary (the scams were UK based) since they could claim it as marketing and I supose to a degree made them appear more legit. With the exception of print on demarnd people I can't see a reason why legit publishers should be much different.
