Because the university and myself are assessing different sets of competencies. They are measuring academic performance, usually in mathematics or computer science, and I am looking for people who can help my company build better software.

Additionally, the farther out from a candidate's graduation the interview takes place, the less their GPA matters compared the work they have done since they left. If you have a great resume and come highly recommended I'm not very concerned with how well you did in your calc 2 or operating systems courses.
