Because Sky will be able to offer their TV service as well as VM broadband.

Would they lose millions of (not so profitable) TV customers to Sky? I’m sceptical. Someone could equally have Sky TV and Virgin retail broadband now if they felt so inclined.

True and some people do have both, but I think that it usually works out more expensive as Sky and VM won't offer triple play discounts.
I suppose VM must have taken into account the profit from wholesaling their broadband as well as the potential loss of direct TV customers (who will probably cancel phone/BB/TV) and decided that it's still worth doing this.
