I am unsure why people don't just use NNTP - there are plenty of
free servers should your ISP not have a USENET server. Eternal
September has already been mentioned.
All of the other technical groups I subscribe to use mailing lists.
Why run another program (usenet reader) in addition to my mail reader,
just for one group? I stopped using usenet at least 10 years ago.
It is a size/traffic question IMHO.
And the google groups ( former alta vista ) nntp archive used to
be accessible for comfortable searches. ( Looks like they have
nixed that by way of becoming more "mainstream".
That said, I still subscribe to a range of groups.
