My guess is that FreeBSDs pw and OpenBSDs user/group programs (note, I don't use NetBSD so NetBSD users please forgive any errors!) were made with the assumption that removing a user from a group would be more often done when removing an account then adjusting memberships.
I tend to just edit /etc/group manually as well,
the file format I can remember more readily then what program I need to interact with it through ;-)
