Why these sell-side analysts?

Listening to conference calls in the earnings season sometimes gives me a funny feeling: Why are the managements  talking to the analysts who get paid by producing estimates these companies need to beat next quarter?

These are all sell-side analysts. You almost never hear buy-side analysts getting onto the calls and ask questions on behalf of shareholders. Why is that the case?
