By check-calling you can get paid by hands like a pair of tens or nines or 2 pairs etc

Villain might call with those hands if you bet, but he's probably not betting them if you check to him. As I understand it, that's the main rationale for betting these sorts of rivers. The board is so scary that many villains will check behind with hands you beat but will make a crying call if you bet.
In other words, this is a spot where villain will call with more hands than he'll bet. Hence the river bet.
