Software cannot understand which post a message replies to.
It can, and more easily than with raw wikitext, as long as the correct "reply" button is used, i.e. if people actually click reply instead of using the already-there box for creating a new "top-level" post in the topic.
The software can tell, but visually it is nearly impossible to determine which message is being responded to when everything has essentially the same indent level.
There's also the huge waste of screen real estate - I knew it was bad on desktop, but I was surprised to see it looks almost as bad on a tablet when I had an opportunity to take a look.
