Most relays administrators setup a relay then never touch it. So they rarely purge. Also the fact that there is no easy way to purge specific content. The relay software is extremely lacking in features and all has to be done by the Linux CLI.
There is only about 20 main relays that everyone uses and they are all full of spam because they are free. A free relay uses a crazy amount of storage after a while since spammers connect to them and spam away.
There is only a few relays which the administrators are actively involved and improving the software and a few paid relays which are good.
There is thousands and thousands of relays but hard to find a good list. Most of the lists are not updated or don't work. I've been adding as many relays as I can. I also run my own relay.
