Is there a positive use case for why email lists don't exclude the sender of a message for list distribution?

Likewise, the list doesn't send an email to people listed directly in the To: or Cc: fields, but cause the original sender already sent it to them; it'd just clutter up their inbox with multiple copies of the same email.
That said, GNU Mailman has a user setting if you do want to receive copies of emails it thinks you already have.
