I only comment on this part. The way I read this thread is not that the majority doesn't care.

The majority deeply cares about keeping the list free of HTML cruft, much more than they care about making it easier for people who sometimes (or always) cannot send anything but HTML-mixed messages [*1*]. 

[Footnote]

*1* This includes me, who often has only an Android tablet while on a bus, wanting to give advice to a poster on the list. I usually just send the reply only to the original poster without bothering the rest of the list, or wait until I get to somewhere I have access to a better MUA.
