Can you imagine getting commercials during a phone call?
No need to imagine. You do now when you call many companies and get put on hold (or wait to get connected to a "[dis]service rep" - ie: Before we will talk to you, you must listen to 10 minutes of commercials about our company first).
i think that is part advertising and part not wanting to be anally raped by ASCAP(i think that is the initals) for licensing fees to play real music.
