Because they can resell your seat on the later flight.
If you are at the airport at 10am for a 1pm flight, but they move you to the 11am flight, this gives them 3 hours to resell your seat on the 1pm. EasyJet runs at 85%+ load factors with peak daytime flights running very close, if not at, capacity.
There are no charges at all here, although I know (given general airline practice) why you may be cynical.
