Because of two things. Firstly they needed people to chip in money via pre-orders to even get the funding to produce these things. Secondly, it seems they don't want to ruin their reputation (and thus lose future orders) by mining with the devices themselves. These two factors result in them selling the hardware instead of mining with it themselves.
