It seems that the point is liquidity and the ability to wash one's hands and move on. It is less important as a seller that the the authenticator be right or qualified to render an "opinion" than it is to get the item into a slab so it can be sold for more with "no questions asked" and "no returns?"

It is an interesting question, but your two options need not be mutually exclusive. It so happens that at the time being, the market has determined that JSA and PSA/DNA are right and qualified to render such opinions. I mean, if a seller thinks something is fake, they shouldn't sell it, but how would a second opinion hurt, especially if buyers are asking for it?
