Hehe, is this cynicism? :) Joke aside, what I find the most problematic
about such auto-responses is that it's little bit promiscuous to begin
with to have them turned on for lists.

Perhaps, but the key thing is that you don't just turn it on for lists -
you turn it on for your email-address, and selectively turning it off
for mailing-lists is hassle and might not even be an option.

Generally I certainly agree that it would be optimal if auto-replies
were never sent to lists.  However, when only one is sent it is much
less of a problem.
Also, I believe there are some auto-responders that are clever enough to
detect when an email is sent from a mailing-list (perhaps they check for
the presence of RFC2369 headers).
