Or more simply put: Because they're good. You can give all those white iBook G3s up to 640 MB of RAM, put Tiger on as well as iLife and iWork, and you have a very capable, good, although basic, computer system to go. And yes: The battery lasts.
If you're looking into buying one (doesn't seem so from your post, though), I'd grab any 12" 800 or 900 MHz G3. They have the graphics power for Quartz Extreme and combo drives, which makes them really great little companions.
