In my humble (and I'm guessing unpopular) opinion, collapsing reply history included below an email reply is an expected UI feature given that every email system these days needs to handle messages sent from Gmail.
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.
