Probably because Sky paid them through the nose for exclusivity. HBO don't care where the money comes from so long as it comes. And it has come from Sky.

They know their shows are subject to much downloading but (while they would never admit it) I reckon they don't care because they think the Sky deal, and a few DVD sales, are making them as much money as they could reasonably hope to wring out of the UK market.
