Going to the CreateSpace website (which now seems to have merged with another company) reveals the reason for this in their FAQs. Books that they have given a (free) ISBN to will give CreateSpace as the publisher of the work. I can only speculate the reason for this business decision but a logical conclusion is to save money. This page gives several reasons why it is more cost effective and better to use their services.

Finally, although I personally think this whole ISBN thing is completely unrelated to the debate, 10,000 Dawns (Volume 1) is still clearly marked as being published by Arcbeatle Press on the inside cover as evidenced by this free preview. I'm not even sure what your argument was even trying to accomplish here but I hope I have explained some of it to you.
