They want to pull up in those searches ahead of you so you are more inclined to pay them to be in their listings. That business practice is not something I want to reward and I think anybody in the business of SEO should boycott them until they quit doing it.
Funny, but the article you cite says "some," not "all."

Furthermore, such directories are not going to rank higher than their entrants simply owing to "nofollow."
