It's like why would a diamond mining equipment manufacturer sell the equipment instead of mining it themselves? Miners are taking a risk by buying equipment, paying for power to run them, administration, etc.

They're providing the hardware at little risk to them, while at the same time I'm sure they do some mining with them as well, since unlike diamond mining, there isn't nearly as much risk with buying land, logistics, etc
