That would still cause problems, as it makes it difficult to reply to an 
individual if the need arises. Especially as this list accepts posts 
from non-subscribed users, who sometimes request a direct copy of the mail.

For a start, overwriting the Reply-To header would make Reply and Reply 
All both go to only the list, and not the original sender (Reply-To 
overrides From). It's difficult to persuade many clients to reply (or 
even copy) the From address when a Reply-To address is set.

Additionally, if a user had set their own Reply-To address, expecting 
replies to go to that address instead of their From address, that would 
be completely lost.

No, they can't; that's the problem. If I send an email with my own 
Reply-To header, to a list which overwrites Reply-To, that list removes 
my Reply-To header and sets its own.

In this list's setup, I can set the Reply-To address to the list 
address, indicating that I don't want a direct copy and replies should 
go to the list. (I don't usually bother to do that, but I have the choice).
