The reasoning, including links to a couple of articles pro and con on
the subject, is explained on the page linked as "(Details for
reply_goes_to_list)". You have said in another thread that these links

to useful supplemental information.

You can continue this thread, or you can just search the archives of
this (and maybe the mailman-developers) list and see if you have
something new to add.
Note that the Mailman developers have strong opinions about this, and
it would take a new and compelling argument to change it.
