There are two reasons,
1. The buttons available on most email programs are:
Reply to sender
Reply to all
forward.
2. Many filter incoming mail to read at later time. So if you have reply to
someone's email
and you want that person to read it immediately and also post it
to the list you reply to all.
If you get a duplication it means that someone wants to make sure you read
it right away.
Or you have subscribed twice.
