Because they use that data for their purposes.

Not too long ago, someone was testing some stuff out with an email server that
he was setting up - mainly why it wasn't negotiating a secure/encrypted
connection.

Long story short: His ISP was actively changing the data stream to/from his
email server to BLOCK the request to turn on encryption.  He let his ISP know
that this was a violation of the law and they soon took that out, but had no
explanation of why it was there in the first place.

We can just assume today that your ISP, cell phone provider, etc. are actively
spying on it.  Probably just for marketing purposes, but who knows how that
data will be used in the future.
