Per the fine manual:

The view pg_group exists for backwards compatibility: it emulates a
catalog that existed in PostgreSQL before version 8.1. It shows the
names and members of all roles that are marked as not rolcanlogin, which
is an approximation to the set of roles that are being used as groups.
