I think you are experiencing the tension between archive and individual message subscribers inherent on any mailing list. If you are an archive subscriber, you don't need to see quotes in replies because the context is usually in the archive you are reading. But if you are an individual message subscriber, you probably appreciate quotes in replies, in case you don't recall or have deleted the previous messages in the thread. I believe most of the people on the list are individual message subscribers, which is why you see most of them using full quotes on their replies.
