To me, it seems to be a matter of convenience. The intersection of people who use iTunes and use torrent trackers is probably quite small. Is the cost of $0.99 worth the hassle of drastically increasing your computer literacy level to avoid? Probably not.
It's easy to forget on Hacker News that most of the population are not hackers.
Empirically, convenience seems to be a valuable good to sell. Why buy a shitty cheeseburger at a higher price than it would cost to make at home? Because its convenient. And so the world runs.
