If using Google Groups or Groups.io requires having a Google account and logging in to that, no thanks. As with Slack, that is an extra step, and an extra place to go to read the LT messages. The beauty of the email-based list is that it's right in with other daily communication. It is so basic that it works for all, whereas I suspect any "other 'modern' group communication platform" may require a subscription, which is a turnoff, regardless if it is free.
I know some people are logged in to Google all the time, but not everyone wants to do that.
