I don't know any of the people involved, or what their motivation
might be, but I will make a guess:

Digium's model tends to stifle innovation.  Look at eclipse.org for a
much better model.  Eclipse is truly open source.  IBM's commercial
products are built on top of Eclipse.  No parallel licensing scheme.
No restrictions on what can go into the project as a result of trying
to maintain the dual licensing.
