It doesn't have to only work in a user list setting. If we've been
exchanging mail privately and I wish to refer you to a message I sent
to you 2 months ago, a mid: link could make life much easier for you
where referring back to the message is concerned. That is unless you
delete your private mail as well.

Is the less than a line of text really a significant waste of
bandwidth considering that others may benefit form its being there? :-)

Yes, it didn't work because you delete a lot of your list messages
including the one the mid link pointed to. You'll therefore not find
them useful in many instances where you see them.

I don't use the list footers either since I don't need to. However, I
can't call them being there a waste of bandwidth. :-)
