As a victim myself, it's pretty simple. Attacked pool -> less network hash -> difficulty stays lower -> profitability stays higher
The cost of a booter to knock a pool offline is quite cheap. The cost of a network to block a booter is quite expensive. "DDoS" protection that typical hosts sell is in the range of 10 Gbit/s 5M PPS attacks, and that might block a weak booter. Protection is needed in the 20Gbit+ range and it costs 2-4k/month for that kind of blocking power. What I'm trying to say is that it's kind of like a "why not?" attack to spend a couple bucks on a booter to take down a mostly defenseless pool.
RIP my old pools... sometimes BTC isn't life ;(

Like everyone said, it's a lot easier for the person doing the ddos then the person trying to stop it. Also, every time the major pools fall under this kind of attack, people freak out, get emotional, and in turn there is volatility, which is what day traders need to make money.
