There is in most cases a significantly lower expectation of privacy when
sending to any public mailing list (regardless of who indexes it) than
when sending to a single individual.

The difference you cite is, therefore, somewhat understandable.

Even more so if people set up forwards from their existing email
addresses into GMail accounts, when the senders do not know that
the mail they send will be read on Gmail.
