Because quicktime/iTunes is licenced only on the device on which it is
installed (remember the EULA which you, like all sane people would,
presumably just clicked through). That device does *not* include other
non-authorized devices you may stream to.

Also Songbird is a "free" project. Apple might feel differently if
commercial vendors, such as SD/Logitech, started using their libraries
in the same way. But again the crucial point is that Songbird depends
on iTuens/quicktime.
