Who is "they"? Mobile network providers? They usually don't give things
away for free but instead you get this for extending the contract for
another 1 or 2 years and they charge you more for that contract compared
to those customers who don't take the "free" device. Depending on the
provider the "free" device may even be more expensive this way when you
sum up the monthly fees you pay in two years.
