Because reply-to specifies the address to send replies back to the
sender of the original mail.  Why would the mailing list software
change that when the sender is the only one who could possible have an
opinion about it?

When writing an answer to an email to a mailing, you either want to
send a reply to the person who wrote the email, or you want to send a
follow-up to the list.  There is no way for the mailing list software
to guess what you might want to do, and mailing lists that add a
reply-to that points to the list effectively removes one of the two
choices for you.
