I think the complaint is valid.  In the Mac world, we have long
had net.micro.mac and net.sources.mac (a misnomer:  there are
about 100 times as many binaries as sources in net.sources.mac).
So why not net.micro.atari16.sources and/or net.micro.atari16.binary?
Then the sites who don't want programs don't even have to have them
uucp'd to themselves.

I also think the original poster may have been complaining about
true garbage, i.e., a few recent uuencodes that went sour somewhere.
This should, of course, be avoided as much as possible, but we're
all only human, after all.
