Driving them out of public spaces also lets them recruit more members, because it gives them an additional weapon against the people they hate. We're not talking about logical, reasonable human beings here. They won't look at a ban on demonstrating and say "oh, yes, I see, we were violating these strictures against incitement to illegal activity, won't do that again". They'll see themselves as being oppressed and silenced by a government controlled by their targets.

And then they'll go preach that to susceptible people - people who already harbor bigotted ideologies, or people who are looking for someone, anyone to hate for their own misfortunes - and now instead of just spewing delusional babble about being persecuted, they'll have something to point to and say "we're being persecuted, and this is how". Which, in the particular political climate that exists in the USA with regards to free speech and any limitations placed on it (or who should be allowed it in the eyes of any given group), that kind of rhetoric is shockingly effective.

Other countries don't allow them to demonstrate. Other countries have also historically been a lot more discerning about where someone's free speech should end, so it is a hell of a lot harder for extremists to scream "we're being silenced" and have anyone listen.
