To me as a newbie to the p99 community, I ask why not join red?

I can't speak for the blue community as a whole, but personally over the last 15 years I have played many other PvP games. I have learned that EQ PvP is horribly designed and there are MUCH better options if I want to enjoy PVPing. Now I could get into why EQ PvP is terrible, but I have things to do and that explanation would take a long time.
Now you could argue that EQ PVE is terrible, but it's unique and frankly I don't play p99 for cutting edge PVE encounters. I play on blue to relax with a slow paced game and enjoy some nostalgia. Also, to see some stuff I missed out on long ago at the birth of my online video game experience.
Now, I also played on PvP servers back in the day. Half the time I spent playing EQ was on either VZ or SZ. But those experiences could not possibly be relived on red99. Red99 is top heavy and raid-centric. On VZ I never got above lvl 25 on my rogue(who was my main on VZ). That's not to say I didn't play him, I played him all the time, I had 30+ days played, but my focus wasn't on leveling, it was on killing elves. Same thing with my shaman on SZ. If I saw someone who was red, my friends and I didn't rest until they were dead or we died in the process of trying to kill them.
Anyway, hope that answers some of your questions.
