they might -- after all they are buying electricity from other suppliers, so why not from me? The question is more like, why should I be in a privileged position related to these other suppliers, and why should I be able to freely exchange something cheap (off-peak, unpredictable power) for something expensive (peak, on-demand power)? This is of course assuming that my usage of the grid is fully accounted for in fees, otherwise there is a separate issue there. Ultimately, since public utilities are not exactly an investor goldmine, this comes down to the question of how much other electricity consumers should spend to subsidize those with solar installations.
