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.
Granted, but that's because the output format is poor rather than the
software being unable to tell.
