I daresay because Mr Tander, as a former champion, is seen as being a key member of any future structure... You know, build a team around your key people, etc.?
Coulthard, as a likeable guy that has undoubted talent, but has yet to fully deliver (for whatever reason), is not quite seen as being so indispensable.
Plus there is the small matter of the fact that Tander's ride is fully funded by Holden and a fleet of sponsors - certainly far more comfortably funded than the Bundaberg car of Coulthard, which receives less of the Holden money, less secure sponsorship, and less man hours than the HRT equipe... and is therefore naturally going to be a more season-to-season proposition.
