Because it's their intellectual property, and in the case of /r/xkcd, 45,000 of his fans are on the subreddit. It wouldn't be the discussion he'd be controlling. He'd have the right to stop the misrepresentation of his work by the current mods. I don't see a reason why artists shouldn't be allowed control of a subreddit about their work.
