It makes so much money in merchandising revenue that they weren't going to kill the golden goose (or evolve the borb as it turns out) and lose all that. Hence, have it learn Seed Bomb from its foster family and have it pick up an Everstone while doing so, to square off against its evolution owned by a rival (which gives them an out to evolving to Decidueye while still keeping Mr. Money Maker).
