He gives these talks because there's a demand for them (from previous audiences). He's not on stage talking because he wants to force people to consume the information.
I suspect it's a trade-off between a talk of this format or no talk at all. Preparing slides etc. takes a time investment, and if it takes too much time, maybe he just wouldn't be able to do the talks.
