A big portion of the list subscribers (1/2 or 2/3 IIRC) are on "digest"
mode, where they get one big email with a bunch of messages.  So if someone
has an issue, replying to both the list and them personally helps them get
a prompt response, rather than waiting for the next digest.  Many list
members send to both for this reason.

Also, some email programs or their users default to using "Reply All"
rather than "Reply Sender".  In my email [Eudora] "Reply" goes to the
individual only, not the list, so I usually do a "Reply All" and leave 'em
both in.
