Because they'll figure out a revenue model eventually, just like Google did.

I'm not familiar with google's early history, but I'm curious, is this a fair comparison? Was there a significant period where google looked like it'd be (or was) a popular product but had no revenue?

Yes, Google had quite a significant time(but kept growing in popularity) before they started making money.
