Mostly I imagine because chiptalk.net members are known to spend silly amounts of money on large quantities of poker chips and as a group will buy enough chips to justify them doing a special run of chips just for us.
ASM has a lot of different options for making chips, but the "1 color 3 edge spots" (their normal "home" chip seen on the web page) is typically the ONLY one they offer to the general gaming market. (Meaning you and I can buy that style, however if you are a casino, you can order from many different chip/edge styles, since you will probably buy tens of thousands of chips from them in one order.)
Also one of the head people at ASM visits this discussion board, and is a fan of the people here.
With those reasons combined, there is an offer on the table for chiptalk.net members to acquire a special ASM chip style that is usually not available to the general public.
I guess that the "2 color - 3 edge spot" design is one that is not used much by casinos, so there is no fear of them producing a chip that would make their casino clients mad if someone walked in and tried to cash some out.
