Largely, this is likely a good thing. Don't let perfect be the enemy of better (than the status quo).

Probably just a reused template image they keep in reserve.
One day it'll have Mastodon and Lemmy and such. Maybe by 2030.
Usenet also largely became a venue for bootlegging and porn -- and due to the nature of the protocol, companies hosting Usenet services didn't want to have to store all of that shit. After about 1995, you didn't go there for discussion anymore. Eternal September messed it up. Lemmy is fortunate that you can't really use it for file sharing, a few images notwithstanding, or the same thing would happen.
Kids these days and their fancy usenet

May I talk to you about my lord and saviour, Gandalf?
Hello fellow human. I am making smalltalk like humans do sometimes.
You sound like you've never been anywhere truly remote. For a lot of people in the world, it would be cheaper for the governmet to buy their rural property, bulldoze it, and then buy them a house in a town with internet service -- than it is to run a line to their property.
You are the very definition of privileged, compared to most remote users. And your comment is as close to textbook NIMBY as I've ever seen. Plus a healthy dose of "fuck em, I got mine".
