Yeah, it'd be easy for a listener with extra time to do.
To add on to eytanz's point: It's that extra time thing that's the incentive. Sure, anyone with the technical savvy and time
could make a ringtone out of any random line from any story that pleased them (leaving aside the legal issues). But many people - I daresay most, even - don't want to bother to figure things like that out and would rather just have them handed to them.
QUICK! Match these lines with the appropriate stories and narrators!
"Fishy bitches broke the ship apart at the belly. Brought the whole catastrophe down."
TONIGHT, WE WILL GET DRUNK IN THE HUMAN FASHION!
We'll all die HORRRRRRRRRIBLY.
The only law you should be concerned with is the one against pissing me off!

I can identify many:
1. "The Mermaid's Tea Party", Narrator: Don't remember, sorry.
2. "In The Stacks", Narrator: (well, character) Graeme Dunlop
3. "Squonk and the Horde of Apprentices", Narrator: Me.
4. ... huh, don't remember which story that's from
5. "In the Stacks" again. No recollection of who did those monsters though.
6. The title of the story eludes me ... something about California King? ... but I know the narrator is DKT.
I looked up the ones I didn't know, but I'll hide them for people who want to fill in the blanks.
#6: Oh, it is "California King". Better memory than I thought.
#5: Right, it was the Head Vocabuvore, played by Rachel Swirsky.
#4: Ah, "Terrible Ones". No need to look up the narrator for that - the inimitable M.K. Hobson!
#1: Oh, right, Tina Connolly.
