It doesn't make business sense.
From a marketing point of view it works. People in wealthy countries are more likely to get a "warm fuzzy feeling" buying a desktop PC that uses components from a company which is has a project to help out the 3rd world. (In effect they're indirectly helping OLPC by bringing more credence
to the low-cost laptop idea.)
