In some instances at least, you can select the text in the fragment you are replying to, and a quote button will appear.

I tend to agree, but most clients only offer rudimentary support to show the metadata that's there. Nowadays, a lot of people pick a random message in a thread and reply to that, disregarding what that particular message contributed to the conversation. I can't really blame them because in the interfaces they are used do, it does not make a difference for presentation purposes. I'm not sure if nested threading in email ever went mainstream, to be honest. Discourse and similar tools may merely reflect that lack of familiarity. I couldn't consume the volume of mail I process without it because nested threading still works on most of the technical lists I frequent, but I suppose it's a dying art.
