Steve.....I think the person who removed the male inflorescences in this case, did so to avoid the untidy appearance after the blooms die off. I say that because I know who he is and a little about his situation. I mean look at the yard...rock...rock...rock...sagos...sagos...sagos. ....how basic can you get?
I was working next door and saw the pile of male blooms and thought it would make an interesting pic.
That said - there is something to what you said about diverting the energy from blooming to maintain growth, but on a sago it's probably moot.
