I would guess he does so because it is far beyond the normal scope of merely-uncharitable remarks. It's not just that it ascribes a dishonest motive to people; it's that it describes an exceptional amount of effort for people to go to in order to achieve a result of no particular value to them.
Believing that someone is only doing something for money might be uncharitable. Believing that they are only doing something because they think you might own a Yorkshire Terrier, and they like to find people who have Yorkshire Terriers and hide zucchini in their houses later is remarkably uncharitable.
