Mailing list configuration

I'm new to this list, and am somewhat puzzled about the logic in its
configuration.

Why is it set up so that Reply-to: is set to the original sender of the
message, rather than to the list?

The only reason that I can think of is so that mail servers such as
Compuserve which ignore the Errors-to: header do not send their errors back
to the list when recipients' mailboxes are full, but I assume (hope) there
is a better reason.
