Because they aren't selling it to other channels, they make very little money off of each rerun. According to Nielsen, the top shows' reruns get a maximum of about 200,000 people watching each rerun. You can expect S&C to get about 1/3 of the ratings of iCarly, which puts it well below 100,000 people per viewing. That is not making a lot of advertising money after royalties, maintenance, etc. So they need to make as much money up front to pay for production.
