Because they can pay Google directly. The affiliate links are for people with existing readers/clients to push them toward the company, not for finding randos on Google search.

Presumably the affiliate program is more cost-effective than paying Google directly, or why even have it?
Maybe the customers kelnos found were much lower quality than normal affiliate customers? That's the only reason I would think this makes sense money-wise.
It's also possible they didn't want to anger google with "misspent" free credits.
But it's also possible they had an ego about it.
