I suspect it's by design. It's surprisingly hard to discover past conversations on Mastodon, and the single depth comment/reply system makes it a pain to actually follow a serious discussion between multiple people.

I'm 100% sure you're right... I don't know why but the twitter style seems like someone's yelling into the void, trying to start arguments, while the tree format feels like you can have principled discussions and learn from each other.
