I think it is. I only tried to explain a use case. With the “reply to” function I could predefine to whom I would like the recipient to reply when clicking on “reply”; for instance, to myself the person that I put in “cc”. For this purpose, I could put the same person into the “reply to” field, next to myself. Of course, I could add anyone else in the “reply to” field, not only the person that I had in “cc”. This was only an example.

Why would you now want “reply” to have the same function as “reply to all”?

Not generally. It would be like this only in the case I described above. “Reply to” presets the addresses to which the recipient of my message will reply when clicking on “reply”. So this is related to what follows below.

A reply to address will be different from the sender’s address.

Not necessarily. It can be different, the same (which does not make sense), or various addresses including the sender. The recipient, when replying (by clicking on “reply”), will see the addresses which my “reply to” has preset and can choose to keep or change them. This is what the Outlook option does.
