Because they do exercises aimed at strengthening their back (deadlifts, good mornings, etc...). Louie Simmons mentioned years ago either in a movie or an article that his guys only wear belts with the heavy weights. The idea is that by not wearing the belt for a majority of the lifts, it gives the back muscles an opportunity to get stronger.

The belt does in fact assist with lifting in that it gives a lifter something to push his gut out against while performing a valsalva manuever. This thereby increases intra-thoracic pressure. Which is a good thing for lifting heavy weight.
