They are heavier, so they hit harder. They are easier to upkeep (no worrying about an edge). They are (as Icelender said) easier to use, not generally having to worry about striking with an edge (unless it's a flanged mace, but even then the worry is less). They are easier to make.
For everyone going "they break bones"... so do axes. Seriously. You do not want to get hit on your tender fleshy bits by my hatchet.
