This is my take on things.

There are some who prefer to keep things simple and they may wish to
work globally with a particular view mode.

The view mode settings invoked via the main window's message list header
bar are global. Selecting a particular view there leads to the view
being applied on all folders across all accounts. It does seem to
over-ride all other folder specific settings.

However, if you wish to be more complicated, i.e., use specific view
modes for specific folders etc., then you can't apply a global view and
instead have to set that global view mode to 'none'.

IMO, this setup seems reasonable to me, except that from a user
interface standpoint, it's misleading and far from intuitive in design.
I have a problem with such a global setting being accessible from the
message list header bar. Intuitively, one would assume that the menu for
the message list header bar would apply to that particular folders
message list. Every other View Mode menu does this, so it only
follows....

What do you think?
