Their colors, whether they intend it or not, are a sign of status for them among the community. Both greeters and instructors are elevated above regular Joes because they have a brightly colored name, are a part of a group that is distinguished for its respective skill in doing what it does... Whether the instructors and greeters intend it or not, by going blue or purple, they are elevating themselves above those without colors, in the eyes of those without colors.
By your logic, all the groups, including Junior Mods, Mods, and Admins, should be removed as well because they are seen as a sign of prestige and status, no matter what their intention.
