For the same reason that they are doing it for Microsoft, Google, ea, and every other software house out there.
Why the question? Not sure? FWIW, outside beta testing postions are generally not paid positions. You may get an early look at features or a complimentary copy. Regardless, the amount effort is generally not congruous with the level of renumeration. IMHO, outside testers don't do it for the money.
I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6 and for some reason my data usage is almost double what it normally is. With iOS 5, my monthly usage was around 300 to 500 MB. Now it's pushing 800MB. 
I can't for the life of me figure out why it's so high now. I've only FaceTimed over 3G twice using 60MB total. 80% of the time I'm connected to Wi-Fi.

It is set to play an audible ringtone but it would just vibrate and screen is black. Nothing showing. Finally just swiped at the bottom where lock slide would be and it answered and lit up the screen. ?? Also have had it lag quite a bit on incoming calls. Between when I hit answer and when the screen changes to answered call screen.
Don't want to ignite any haters but I would say Droiid and iOS are getting closer and closer in overall performance. Don't get me wrong I love certain things about the iPhones but the GS3 has come a long way for those that haven't used Droiid in a while.
Edit: I keep the phone very "clean." Hardly any added apps and reboot/clear every couple of days.

My phone stopped turning its screen off after a minute and would just stay on. Then it started setting the auto brightness to whatever it wanted.
Also noticed that when I miss a call it will no longer get rid of the missed call icon if I check the call history like it used to.
And then there is the occasional screen blip thing.

I have the same issues as #2. I actually thought it was the contacts database but the pictures are fine. Only happened once but it did.
I'm having the same issue on an iPhone 4. But you're still an idiot
That part was never in doubt, only the timing.
Same bugs for me on the 5 as the 4s running iOS6...
-No reliable notifications for SMS or iMessage unless I have "View in Lock Screen" turned ON. This one pisses me off for obvious reasons. Why should everyone else see who is texting me?
-Auto Dim does not work...period...end of sentence. I turn it on in bright sun or pitch black and the screen brightness does nothing.
-Bluetooth seems to "go to sleep" on me once I get out of the car and will not sync up when I get back in. I have to toggle it off and back to connect again.
I see these same symptoms in 2 different phones yet they don't seem widespread and that is really odd.

Have you reported these things? Don't expect a fix if you don't.
I've had this one.
1. Sometimes I get a glitch in the screen like a line in different colors when I have the keyboard come up.
2. Safari is really buggy for me.
A. Sometimes tap to zoom doesn't work right away. I have to pinch to zoom and then tap to zoom works like normal.
B. When I tap the address bar to input a URL. If I want to make a correction I can't for the life of me get the cursor to move. I keep pressing to move it. It just won't work.
C. Some web pages won't work with safari on my iPhone 5. I'll try to input a quantity and it just closes the keyboard. Same when I try to select an option from a pull down.
The same web page works fine using the chrome app.
