Because it makes sense. The message footer is identical to a signature in every respect: a standardized attachment to the actual message with no direct content reference to it, which you want to be able to hide and which should be suppressed in a reply. It doesn't matter if such a footer or signature is added by the poster, by the mail client or server (for example in a corporate setting) or by a mailing list manager. > It's not obvious to me that that was a good idea.
