As I understand it, the Reply-To address was introduced only recently,

You underatand wrong. Reply-To was part of all email standards including
RFC822 published in 1982 and it has never been used as replacement for
RFC821 MAIL FROM which is a return-path for emails that can not be
delivered and so is used in automated manner. Reply-To on the other
hand serves to direct emails that come as reply to another email due
to human action.
