They often don't value what you do and therefor aren't interested in placing a monetary value on your work. This means a free design sample isn't likely to lead to any more business. And usually when someone say "oh yes, we have three more large projects we might want you to work on after this free one" they are usually using it as a way to entice you into doing something with a vague promise of there being something in it for you. Bait and switch. YES, there are exceptions to every rule. There MAY be instances where there is actually a mutually beneficial exchange.
