I think there's two reasons why Demos "spam" stickies so much.
1. They don't carry that many grenades. I've been able to empty all of my nades in just about 1 - 2 minutes, so I have nothing left (not that I'm any good as Demoman, though). So, to conserve nades, Demos often use stickies, which have the added advantages of not being reflected and of choosing when they detonate.
2. The things also do a whole lot of damage, especially if you can hit someone with more than one at the same time.
