Who knows. Maybe for backward compatibility? Users of the old GNUS
expected group names to be unadorned with a prefix. But Lars needed
to do something to distinguish like-named groups on different
servers. So he picked one server for unadorned group names.
People who don't need the distinction might wish to use nnnil.el as
the primary server (this backend contains no groups) and make all
servers secondary.
