Ugh... Valve's business is earning money from the work of others (Steam publishing games).
Also TF2 is a free to play game that requires a big number of servers to keep the game easily accessible for everyone all over the world. There's practically no reason to host MvM servers because you can't exactly build a community around that mode if you run it stock. It's all just random players sent by matchmaking yet the resource usage can be equal to a server full of real people. If the Steam forums are to be believed then there's no ad-free servers in Australia. Not everyone is willing to do charity work for random people on the internet so they don't have to wait hours in the matchmaking line.
