Because they believe the extra money will allow them to increase the valuation more than it dilutes them.

I can’t really think of one example really where that actually ended up in favor of the founders. Even Kalanick’s Series D raise at Uber back in 2014 seemed a bit weird, and in retrospective given what happened since...
I imagine for it to be actually net beneficial there would still need to be at least 5x or 10x growth potential and assuming it’s already a unicorn that somehow can’t finance otherwise on favorable terms... would imply a quite unique situation.
