Given that almost all of the WG lists have subject prefixes, it seems
most folks find your arguments less than compelling.
Not really, it's the default setting for the WG lists and nobody
bothered changing the setting. As mentioned in
draft-koch-subject-tags-considered-00, the tag is ambiguous when used
for list identification.
Discussions about subject tagging are rarely about compelling
arguments; it's a religious debate. The tagging was introduced due
to the inability of a well-known MUA to implement RFC 2919 for
messages sorting. As time went by, people viewed it as the norm.
As this is a matter of local preference, it is better to leave it to
the subscriber to add the subject tag if he/she believes that it is useful.
