Google is doing a lot of things that don’t make any sense, and I’m quite 
certain that GNU mailing list standards are based on a better 
understanding on how email should be used than most email communication 
via “normal” mailing software is.

We have mailing list archives in order to preserve reply history, and an 
“expected UI feature” for mailing software would be the ability to 
display an email as part of a thread, or conversation.

There’s no reason for snowballing the amount of text being sent back and 
forth.
