Please do yourself a favor and go and educate yourself about this before weighing in on something you obviously don't understand completely.

Let me dumb it down for you in hopes you'll grasp the simple concept.
There are hub servers which are interconnected. These hub servers while interconnected will feed leaf servers. If you drop the groups at one of the hubs it will not propagate those groups to other hubs and/or leaf servers. That is not to say that other interconnected hub servers still wont carry them but any of the leaf servers which use the upstream hub will not have the groups.
What I also take away from what it is you're saying is that it won't be profitable for the news servers to drop those groups....so they wont and that is ok because of how news groups works...meanwhile, there is absolutely no other reason other than financial rewards to carry those groups.
