Wild guess: Because they want to charge you $0.10 per message? :)

Although they could make for that by the verbosity of a default XMPP 
connection. Just transferring a decently sized roster costs more than 10 
cents over your average GPRS/UMTS connection :D

BTW for those in the netherlands, T-mobile now has an offer for 9.50 
euro/month for unlimited GPRS/UMTS usage. Officially it's only available 
with some smartphones but that shouldn't stop you :)
