Admin removals not federating for groups they don't moderate is important, or troll admins could just delete everything in every group simply by spinning up a throw away instance.
Admins can also make themselves mods on communities hosted on their instance.
And the reason for the distinction is that communities often have rules beyond the instance. We host 196 for example, which is incredibly busy. I have no desire to watch all of the posts and moderate off topic posts or posts that forget to mention "the rule". So I watch for abusive users and other stuff that requires an admin, and leave the community rules to the mods
