The Howard Stern Radio Show (and the tv show on On-Demand) has listeners/viewers across many age ranges and income levels, including many at the highest levels of the business world, entertainment world and represented in both the states and Federal governments. And many of those influential people have been loyal listeners for 20+ years. His demographics alone are enough for many businesspeople to have made multi-million dollar fortunes primarilly from advertising on his radio show.
Howard can't be expected to know the ins and outs of the machinations behind the .xxx top-level domain's creation or it's potential ramifications for the existing adult industry. Sirius and he are getting paid to read their spots and there is no reason to think he understands why most webmasters would be concerned about the issue.
