I only comment on this part. The way I read this thread is not that the
majority doesn't care.

The majority deeply cares about keeping the list free of HTML cruft, much
more than they care about making it easier for people who sometimes (or
always) cannot send anything but HTML-mixed messages [*1*]. 

[Footnote]

*1* This includes me, who often has only an Android tablet while on a bus,
wanting to give advice to a poster on the list. I usually just send the
reply only to the original poster without bothering the rest of the list,
or wait until I get to somewhere I have access to a better MUA.

to be clear, I also want to keep HTML cruft off the list.

but if a message is being sent in a multipart format of both HTML and 
text, I think it is reasonable to strip out the HTML part and send the 
text part on to the list.
