Not precisely right - mailing list software only needs to add the
appropriate list headers defined by the relevant RFCs.
This list does (and so Reply-To-List works as it should).

For lists that do not add the headers, correct.

Eh? Been using it since I can remember on this list, works perfectly
fine for me.

Based on the headers.
Apparently I misunderstood you above.
What you appear to be talking about is called 'Reply-To-Munging', and is
very much frowned upon by most technically inclined.
Reply-To-List is a MUA feature that simply requires the appropriate list
headers be present in the email.
