... so maybe it's just for nostalgia.

It's a static page; I imagine that the costs for it are pretty trivial. And maybe they've just forgotten about it - a few bucks a month from a hosting service that hosts a dozen other sites, where a credit card number gets updated every few years.
I guess. As I recall, the theory was that the admin got locked out of the server. But after a few years, that seems unlikely.
