Yeah, the way I frame it, Mastodon should be working on empowering readers to craft the experience they want, but over and over again Mastodon developers have avoided that option.

In this case it comes down to actively wanting others to shape your experience.

It's exactly backwards, and you capture it.

How do I, the commenter, know if you would want those replies or not? It leaves me guessing, and if I guess wrong then I'm negatively impacting your use of the site.

It's a bad plan.
