Because everybody is counting on each other (the group) to show up,  so if someone doesn't show up without calling, you mess up their whole plans and it might even waste their time, that's why they might be a little upset. If they know one or two are not coming, they can consult with each other and decide what to do next or if they should continue with it nor postponed it....hope that made sense.

Saheeh International: Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; ....
