Why ?

Because they are Unix groups that are very similar:

Administrators --> the 'root' group
Guests --> the 'nobody' or 'nogroup' group
Users --> the 'users' group

For 'BUILTIN\Guests' you should be using 'Domain Guests'
For 'BUILTIN\Users' you should be using 'Domain Users'

The other BUILTIN groups:
Account Operators
Server Operators
Print Operators
Backup Operators
Replicators

are only meant to be used on a DC.
