The best idea is to ask them and we would like to know the answer too.
One possibility is that they don't know what OSM is.
That's true for 99.9% of the persons.
Please note in the Click2map <http://www.click2map.com/>'s answer that
they consider OSM as tiles, not as a database and not as a database they
can change.
And that's why cooperating with those who can spread the idea is
interesting.
Another possibility is reliability and security. Their data could be
mangled by anyone. If real vandalism hasn't occurred in OSM yet, it's
because of the 99.9%.

Cheers,

André.
