One reason for this is that the CF standard does not address groups, so the
many of us that try to keep our file CF-compliant end up with netCDF3
compliant by default.
netcdf4 can still help with compression and chunking and all that, but the
hierarchical features are not used.
There is some movement toward a CF 2.* to address this, but it's only just
begun.
