Some people really don't want to see any discussion of the political/ ethical issues around free software, I suppose, and what it banished to a list they don't have to read. More likely, however, is that people are using Thunderbird. Thunderbird doesn't by default have a "Delete Thread" button, so people are forced to select all the messages of a huge thread and delete them. Now you might argue that any mailer without a "Delete Thread" button simply isn't fit for purpose, and I would find it hard to argue with you, but that's the fact.
