Because devs will not change from newsgroup to HTML webpages. Webpages are 
much slower to load, harder to search and you can not filter them.

Newsgroups work since decades (!) and tools are mature and simple to use. 
Basically newsgroups are kind of a big email inbox with public read support. 
So everybody who can send an email can post to a newsgroup and read what was 
posted there. It just works.

HTML web boards on the other hand are much harder to use, each board has its 
own style, set of tags and functions and you can not apply filters or tags 
to posts. Additionally there are much more possible security issues, because 
the whole software stack is much more complex.

I am really a fan of newsgroups and the "technical barrier" (which is just 
the ability of reading and receiving emails - but I know this is even a 
problem for my own age group; 1990) keeps people from spamming the board 
with unrelated questions and complains.

I see the need for a board and a board in sync is fine with me too, but to 
me this is the very same problem with shell and gui. Actually the shell is 
much easier to use once you learned the basics and then it is very 
consistent, but people prefer to waste there time every day instead of 
learning it once.

Google groups are just newsgroups/mailing-lists too.
