That feature is for lazy people who don't understand the value of
cut-and-paste, like to top-post and never trim the previous messages from
their reply. It's a cosmetic coat of paint hiding a structural behavior

Doesn't mean it isn't extremely useful and that MS shouldn't include it.
Especially seeing as top-posting is a largely Microsoft-supported habit
