I think some people in niche communities (such as communist groups in this example) actually want the group to stay insular and personal. They like feeling part of a special little group, and if it started letting just anyone in then that would be lost.
I just heard about missionaries being forced to be annoying so their converts are fanatical and they get to feel persecuted by everyone else and ingrain that perspective.
