I've never understood it either. The reasoning seems to be that a special List-Post email field was added for this purpose and so all the email clients should get fixed to have a reply-list button that sends your reply to that address. It's been almost 10 years since RFC 4021 described this idea (or is it even older?) during which time the number of email clients in use has exploded and AFAIK very few of them have the reply-list feature. Some time ago I suggested reply-to munging for this very list but there wasn't a great deal of enthusiasm for the idea.
