Why what? Why would they want to get up, or why would you let them up? They'd want to get up because otherwise they're lying face down in front of you and it's only the goodness of your heart that saves their kidneys a kicking. You'd want to let them up, perhaps, if you didn't actually have them in a pin, if they were big and strong and had at least one knee under them, and you didn't want to get into a wrestling match trying to keep them down.
In terms of practice, you should not be "hauling them up". Simple as that.

Perhaps I am over rationalizing, but seems to me you have a contradiction, paraphrasing your answer:
- They get up because it is advantageous for them to do so
- You let them get up because it is advantageous for you to do so.

wouldn't atemi (kidney, neck, temple ...) be a sensible thing to do in this case?
