The difference is that you still paid for the class. The university wants the money.

I believe at most 4 year universities, in the US at least, you pay by the semester or quarter and not on the number of classes you take. So the university won't generally make more money if you test out.
They will make more money if you do NOT test out because you have to pay for the credits, not pay by the semester.
