It would also stop the far-too-common experience of someone replying all when they meant to only send it to one person, annoying and causing distraction to the possibly hundreds of other people included on the original email.

far-too-common

Is it? In a year working in a consultant this happened only once in an internal company email, while chains being lost happened weekly.

I still wish reply all was the default in Outlook, it would make my life so much easier.

It's literally happened to me multiple times this week.

I've never had the scenario you describe happen. Literally never failed to receive an email because someone didn't reply all when they wanted to.
