I see. Where can I read why this is default? Is it common to save
messages to folders with the name of the email address you receive
from? Such behavior seems contrary to most workflows I have awareness
of.

OK I will keep in mind.

fcc-hook is not relevant here. :)
save-hook if anything.

The OP should check chapter "Using %-expandos in save-hook" in the manual.

I guess it's just some default, that will reliably expand to something
useful.

Either save-name or force-name would make your default save folder match
the recipient's name.

If you have no save-hook in effect and save-name and force-name are both
turned off, then then default for the "s" command should be the value of
the $record variable.

There is documentation included.
  man mutt
  man muttrc

  fcc-hook [!]pattern filename
When an outgoing message matches pattern, the default
file name for storing a copy (fcc) will be the given
filename.
