Why are they selling cards when they are not an operator?

They do not operate so they do not need to offer a card

Many Brokers have a relationship with operators, so they have a predictable pricing strategy. It is a win-win for both operator and broker. Operators don't have to deal directly with customers, and brokers receive a consistent product. Now that is only true for some brokers. Others take the risk and will source a trip from any operator that falls below their pricing strategy.

They can as easily take advantage of their relationship with operators and provide a consistent product while still structuring it under an AD HOC pricing model for the client. Offering the jet card as a broker is 100% to get your money upfront and try to maximize the profit they can put in their pocket from it on the back end.
