Because it's only punished by a five-minute penalty, and they're usually matching penalties. Some fans really enjoy fighting and it sells tickets and TV/streaming packages.
I actually don't agree with it. I think physical play and intimidation are part of the game but we've passed the need for fighting. But Rempe knows what he's doing - he'll need to live with whatever consequences come.
