Letting users post thousands of posts into a newsgroup in a small amount of time is also an invitation for spammers.
Unfortunately no matter what Google does spammers will always be able to abuse Google Groups. Even if Google restricted free-tier Groups to 5 users you’d only be hurting legitimate users who don’t abuse it. Spammers will just pay Google to continue spamming thousands of people as a cost of doing business meanwhile Google will happily pocket the cash and suspend the offending account for abuse after the fact. That’s just good business.
