Because they're using google-groups, so of course they are google
everything, because that's the way google wants it.
One unified account for everything they offer, the better to keep track
of everything you look at so they can market at you more efficiently.

Combine that with google changing the way google groups displays things
so it's not actually that easy to see the date, and of course you get
idiots responding to decade(s) old posts, because that's what google
intended with the format change.
Make it seem like this thing they offer actually still has traffic by
obscuring the fact the posts are actually ancient, all to make it seem
like you get more with google.

Google dropped the "don't be evil" bit from their corporate culture a
long time ago.   I wouldn't be at all surprised if "Darth" was an
official job title at google these days.
