In these specific instances I agree with you. The few I looked at were just single or no post communities. I think the mods just want to give these a chance in case anyone actually does want to take them over and breathe some life into them.

Given the price difference I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want to pay for that.
Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/
