Ok, but you can still go ahead and create the same community on every instance so you control all the communities with that name.

No! That's exactly what you can't do, because if you tried you'd get banned by the admin! In your scenario, there are no admins to stop such a bad actor. But ultimately admins control what communities are on their instance, so you can't just hijack all communities like that.
