Why do the major cellphone service providers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile benefit from owning “cheap” services like Visible, Cricket or Mint?

Are these services extremely throttled? Are they on separate towers where the service isn’t as great? Please help me understand.

In addition to the other answers, the MVNO’s don’t usually provide as much in the way of new phone upgrade credits- so if you own your phone, and aren’t looking to upgrade anytime soon, they can be a good money saver for this reason as well.
