Why would a government impose as legal tender a currency that it can not print and therefore can not profit from it?

There are countries that directly use USD or EUR for example as legal tender without pegging or any formal agreement with the issuing governments. They lose out on seignorage profits but they also avoid the hassle of administering a currency.
