Part of this is due to Google's claim on ownership (read the terms of service carefully, all who may be considering it!), but I'm also not sure how professional it looks. Plus, there are other cheap options: most web hosts now include access to some sort of simple editor, there are open source WYSIWYG editors, and there are so many easy CMS options now. (And even if an org has to sink a little cash hiring someone to set up the CMS initially, anyone should be able to maintain the site thereafter.)
