Assuming you're not affiliated with that site, I'll give you my take on things:

1. Exposure
A lot of people believe in the pipe-dream that some big rec exec will come along, hear their music, and whisk them away for a recording contract. So, they get their music out where ever they can. Saturate the market (lol), so to speak.

2. Inexperience
Some people just don't know where to go with their music, so they drop it in the first place they see, which may or may not be the site you mentioned, as well as other sites like Soundcloud, etc..

3. Honesty/Humility
Some people see the industry as a negative impact on themselves and the world around them, so they share their music freely. Also, along with this are the people that have no delusions on their abilities, and realize that no one in their right mind would ever pay for something they've novicely created.

Some basic, off-the-top-of-my-head ideas for you there.
