It isn't always the case that you want to reply to the list. When you want
that, then sure that is something you can do.

But you don't always know if people are subscribed or not and there may be
cases where people like getting a second message directly to them.

The proper way to indicate that you don't want separate direct copies in
addition to the list copy is to set an appropriate mail-followup-to header.
Then things work automatically and people don't need to guess your intentions,
remember them or notice them buried in the signature part of an email message.
