What you are seeing is the downstream effects of developers not releasing server binaries to the player base. Once upon a time the players ran the servers, and then Modern Warfare II came out, and changed that. Now most servers are ran by the game publishers themselves, with the only exception seemingly being Valve, which lets players set up TF2/CS:S/CS:GO/CS2 servers as they see fit.

This was inevitable with the consolification of gaming. Get used to it.
