Because they make money from being the best place to buy the kind of stuff they sell, rather than from trapping enormous numbers of people into viewing enormous numbers of advertisements.
Mcmaster doesn't have the best prices, they don't have every part imaginable. Their value-add is the shopping experience, so it's unsurprising that they do it very well.

And they aren't charging an arm-and-leg for shipping costs. And you know the provenance of the parts, since there aren't any third-party sellers. And you can get material certs and DFARS compliant items. And you get their curated catalog of quality stuff, and not 50 different shady pressure regulators or whatever. I guess that could all be considered part of the shopping experience. I wish more sites/businesses would strive to be the McMaster-Carr of X.
