Because they can get away with it and because of greed.

How would greed lead them to paying 40+ hours of time and a half OT instead of hiring another worker?

Companies tend to work (as we humans do) under the principle of least effort.

More employees means more HR work, more administrative work, more legal work, more work in general, and unless the benefits of hiring more people are great, they will just abuse the employees at hand.

Because it's cheaper to have fewer employees.
