It's done for a few reasons, most of them due to marketing and legalities:

1) To make a name more memorable (hey--even if it pissed you off, you remembered it, right?)

2) The alternate, correctly-spelled name was already copyrighted/trademarked by another company

3) The alternate, correctly-spelled name sounds generic/boring

4) (insert other reasons that I don't know/can't think of right now because it's late...)

...but am I making any sense?
