The problem is that, when they ask you, they've already deleted it. So the default is that it's gone, and if it's a community that other people care about, that means that there's nothing they can do in the absence of the original maintainer. If people don't care about their content being purged, that's fine, but this way of going about it is fucking over people who do care. Especially because several communities (good_rpers_rock for example, which fortunately has been restored upon a complaint being filed) were deleted with no actual notification given to their maintainers.
