I'd image the biggest reason is that risk tolerance is lower for cargo companies than for passenger airlines, and that cargo companies are more inclined to run a subset of their fleet as an "experimental" model vs the consistency that passengers expect. They probably also have the biggest potential gains given there's only so tight you can pack people.
