Well, I would assume (and I am really guessing here) that a company would want to stick with a SAAMI certified chamber/ammo for liability reasons. Imagine a person buying rifle and having it kaboom on them. If it wasn't certified to be safe by SAAMI it would be easier for a person to sue the company or store that sells it. But, if I ran a gun store and sold a product that off the shelf that was SAAMI certified, I could stand behind the fact that the weapon and ammo was certified safe and was manufacturered to the listed SAAMI specs. Anything else, would be "non-certified safe" wildcat rifle/ammo.
But, that is just a wild guess on my part ...... but it does make sense.
I do have to say that the sportsmans warehouse we have in town here only sells certified weapons and ammo.
