Some manufacturers factor the resonate nature of the enclosure into the overall sound of loudspeaker. The thinking is that most dampening simply smears and delays the resonate behavior without truly eliminating it. Having a cabinet that quickly releases rather than storing energy is thus seen as an advantage.
Applying additional dampening material will definitely change the sound of a loudspeaker, but it could just as easily sound worst.
