They're old.
And very expensive to operate. And their primary mission (building the ISS) is done.
But it's a bad idea to dump them.

Let me just remark that since this is a conspiracy site, this comment makes 100% of sense. Entering of the atmosphere may not be desirable for the aliens for fear of detection or malfunction of their craft.

Ok so they are conducting all sorts of experiments.
So where's all the results of these experiments ???
I smell a rat here, anybody else have a sneeking suspection that there are also some sort of covert operations going on ?

The ISS is basically a laboratory that is studying how humans can live in space. As was mentioned before, one of the primary "experiments" (if you want to call it that) was the actual construction of the ISS. Building the ISS taught us more than we ever knew about how to build habitats in space. Our knowledge of space construction took a quantum leap when the ISS was designed and constucted.
Now that the ISS is built (and that "experiment" is complete), the new main "experiment" being carried out is "how can Man live in space". The results are available in scientific journals from NASA and other institutions such as universities who are conducting many of the experiments.
I've argued before that the manufacturing experiments being conducted on the ISS are minor compared to the volumes and volumes pf knowledge we gained on living in space habitats for extended periods of time.
