Hand-pulling is time-intensive, and factors in to a company's bottom line. If they're paying $20/hour - they could get 5 properties sprayed in an hour, compared to one lawn taking two hours to hand-pull if they have flower beds and a couple of feet of plants around the perimeter of the house.
I pull the weeds by hand, but no one's paying me to do it at my house. I do the next door neighbor's when she's out of state and she gives me money. But the amount is negligible, and I do it out of love for my neighbor and satisfaction in knowing that her beds look nice when she's not around.
