Because, as far as I can tell, metal bands only use DIY as a stepping stone out of necessity because when they start out, they have no other choice. I would be willing to make a solid wager that just about any metal band who is DIY now would jump right on board with Scion or a major label if given the chance, rather than make it their lifestyle and band's career path.

That's quite a broad brush. I'd be willing to meet any musician who's career path involves not getting any compensation and just plays and tours out of the goodness of their heart, their strings are changed by unicorns and fairies make sure their amps never blow out. Bands turn down offers all the time if artistic integrity is an issue, it seems like integrity to some people involves "not accepting any money except from your dirt poor fans". Playing a certain genre of music doesn't infer anything about the type of person playing it.
