Because the service provider may not be the first to notice or be the most adversely affected.  Remember that many nameservers handle thousands of domain, and experience shows that sometimes even those service providers don’t have complete knowledge of the domains actually using them.  And the users of those nameservers don’t always know that some other 3rd party has configured their domains to use a particular set of nameservers.  Yes, that’s weird, but operationally true.
