Take for example this very mail that you are just reading.
Where should the reply go when you click "Reply", to me or to the list?

This is taken out of context. This refers to changing or setting a
Reply-To after a message has been generated. Which I agree, it is bad.
Setting Reply-To at message creation time to any value is acceptable.
