It may not be that simple.  Moving blocks of files, photos, and archives 
posts from many groups at one time is not a trivial task. If hundreds or 
even thousands of groups are trying to migrate at the same time, servers 
and other hardware may find it difficult to keep up with the traffic.  
Groups.io may need to add/rent servers or bandwidth, add staff, etc.  
They are not a charity, and the must recoup their costs.  We can argue 
about the actual price, but this situation is not so different from a 
supermarket before a big storm; or refreshments at a festival

There is a note on Groups.io today that says that the Photos section of 
Yahoo Groups seems to be broken or erratic right now; and that they may 
not be able to migrate all of the photos before time's up, if this 
situation continues.

The real 'bad guy' here is Yahoo, IMHO.  It would have been nice to have 
a couple of months' heads-up before the site was shutting down.  As it 
is, we had about two weeks' warning on being able to add files.
