Maybe because those people like books from authors that are both 99p indies and part of the agency publishers? I'm likewise happy with many of the cheaper purchases I've made but there are still authors I'd like to read that I'm currently passing on because of the agency prices.
Maybe in time, the soft spot I have for some authors who I currently no longer read due to prices will diminish and be replaced by newer authors who's book prices I find more palatable? Maybe it won't, maybe prices will change and it becomes a non issue (indie books increasing or agency books decreasing) Either way, I think you can be happy buying indie books and still be disgruntled about agency pricing, it doesn't need to be one or the other.
