I'm thinking the recent increase of quote-heavy replies is a conflation of
two factors. The proliferation of mobile phones and perhaps a large
percentage of users on this mailing list is reading the emails on their
mobile device.

Mobile devices makes it difficult to extract and isolate the quote you
wants. For example I mostly read on my mobile phone and to respond to this
thread, I had to jump on my computer instead because I found it too
difficult to quote on my phone.

Plus I've noticed that today email clients, from Gmail to Outlook tends to
collapse previous email content behind an ellipse symbol or otherwise make
them nearly visible unless you think to explicitly expand the content.

Both of those factors plus the human tendency to take the path of least
resistance may be contributing to those excessively quote heavy replies.
