Comment (by dd32):

 > It's intentionally designed that way, because we don't want to promote
 groups that won't agree to the 5 good-faith rules. That protects the
 project from being associated with people who would take advantage of
 WordPress' popularity for their own financial gain, etc.

 Many meetups do agree to those rules and have lived by them for a lot
 longer than the "official" meetup accounts have existed, they're just not
 part of the foundations meetup account, usually due to existing for a
 significant amount of time prior to that program beginning. They should
 really be treated as a first-class citizen and not discriminated against
 just because the Foundation is not the entity paying the meetup dues.
