No, the creator might not know of all the communities where the post might be relevant. You'd end up either with everyone bugging the poster to xpost it everywhere; or everyone just copying the post, making things worse.
Seeing an xpost might lead you to finding nee communities you didn't know, it's one of the best discovery tools.
That makes sense, hadn't even occurred to me!
