I'm just guessing, but I think they want the shows right away. For example if a new episode of a show airs on Monday, Netflix wants to have it for streaming on Tuesday so it won't be quiet the same as syndication. Plus, Netflix won't be selling advertising on it.
I see it as a nice way for people to get some extra money from their show. People are just going to download a commercial free version of it anyway so they might as well sell it if they can.
