Because not everything is just black and white. Bots do have an important role to play for people who use them wisely. If you want make your good quality post (maybe you have developed an App or Project that needs attention) than you can spent money on Bots to promote your post. That is not a bad thing and if people like me delegate to a Bot I'm loosing out on curation profit. Therefore the Bot pays me some Steem out. And you should also think about whales with 100K SP. If they want to curate their power to 100+ people a day thats not possible. Thats why they need the curation made automatically with a Bot.

There is already a promote feature which consequently increases the overall value of SBD and STEEM and doesn't conversely devalue the function of Curation.
The part about whales not being able to use their stake is in stark contrast to the reality of delegation, which again invalidates such short sighted mentally.
Ultimately bots are great for only a few things: upvoting malicious flags thus nullifying the abuse, and downvoting any and all accounts that have demonstrated that they don't care for Curation, aka bidbots, and thus nullifying the abuse, and lastly, bots are great when they are used to detect or determine spam and plagiarism.
The problem is that you don't consider that by devaluing the function of Curation by vote selling you are devaluing the inherent value of the platform, or to reward others. If everyone delegated to bid bots there wouldn't be a community anymore, and you cannot escape that simple inconvenient truth.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
