Hi,
The Gmail web interface does not display emails as threads, by design [1].
"""A conversation breaks off into a new conversation if the subject line
changes or the conversation gets to more than 100 emails."""
It groups messages together ("a conversation") if their subject lines are
similar, without any visual representation of the relationships expressed
by the "In-reply-to" headers.

Agreed. But that's what the Gmail web interface has always done
since its introduction. It is what it is.
I hope this helps, but I have nothing further to add to this thread.
