I was suggesting that one way to address that complaint would be for your mail client to detect the duplication and hide the duplicate copies.

That sounds good in theory. But the practice that I'm exposed to doesn't work out well.

I usually receive the direct replies before the copy from the mailing list. With the copy coming in from the mailing list after the message directly to me is processed, there is little chance of retroactively removing the original copy. At least from procmail filters. I'm also not aware of much that Thunderbird can do.

Hence good in theory, bad in practice.
