Four reasons I can think of:
1) After 10 years of dominance, Sony detractors smell blood in the water and can't help going nuts. Some may even believe keeping the rumor alive will hurt Ps3 sales, and become a self-fulfilling prophecy (ala RE4).
2) GTA4, DMC4, Assassin's Creed, and many other titles set a precedent, as have past MGS titles.
3) Sony reps have a way of saying things (UT3 is exclusive) that aren't always wholly true, so everyone but the most devoted fanboy tends to overanalyze every announcement for "hidden truths."
4) Maybe, just maybe, it's true(in which case the question would be why do people refuse to accept it).
One way or another we'll know the truth in 2008.
