The tl;dr is that having many communities make it difficult to govern and ensure a safe space exists for the overall community and having too many can result in highly fragmented discussions that would be a challenge to grow and nurture.
It’s not that we don’t permit new communities, but more towards we moderate their creation based off the communities interests.
