They pay interest because they are margined. Even longs would pay interest on any margined stocks. It can be costly though. I've never done it.

You pay the interest on the "hard to borrow" securities. Interest is set by the broker, highest I saw was 22%. Interest is based on the $ value you borrowed. Interest is calculated on the annual basis.

And you pay the margin interest too.
