To me this indicates a high likelyhood of the author's lack of desire to take ownership of the fic and claim it as something that is their's and have it presented for public consumption and consideration.
I do not repost fic exchange fics. Why? Because I don't write them for the public, or myself - I write them for the person I was assigned. The public reads in fic comms are irrelevant, and frankly since it was written for a single person it doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks of the fic - it's flatly none of their business.
When I write in general I write with the awareness of pleasing a broader audience and their input into the fic. When I'm writing for an exchange I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks should be there, except the person I wrote it for. That's the difference. In a fic exchange there's only one opinion that matters-
