A big issue with trying to merge is that some groups will have a completely different direction of discussion from the same topic. Especially with a political link to a news paper. You can't reasonably merge those conversations together.

I think the intention is to keep the disparate conversations in a single container that you can swap between, rather than merging those conversations together.

I can see that as an issue as well. Griefers could easily harass other groups by creating clone instances and then filling it with shit.

That is where the beauty of federation shines through. You just defederate that instance - or as a user just block the whole instance.
