It is much less problematic for "reply" to reply to the list, especially if changing that behavior is solely meant to help those who don't want to subscribe to it...
Typically accidentally sending a message intended for a single person to a list by mistake has a higher cost than do the reverse. Depending on the ratio of the two mistakes for a given group it may make sense to do reply munging.
When Reply-To munging is off; it's easy from the MUA to choose between single reply, and reply to all. When it's on, then *all* the mail goes to the mailing list by default.
So if anything, Reply-To munging would cause more private mail go to the mailing list (i.e. I typed 'r' in mutt, not 'g', but the mail went to the ml!)
