^A couple possible reasons
- They view them as being strong producers (e.g. delivering a truckload of pig meat)
- They see them as perhaps being dangerous when push comes to shove
- The Kingdom has never shown even a hint of rebelling
- It depends on how the specific group is that the Kingdom is dealing with (e.g. Simon implied that the group the Hilltop had been dealing with had been a little soft)
I suspect it is a combination of them being strong producers, and "taking the relationship seriously - as Ezekiel has said".
