I don't disagree.
It originally was trying to be this kind of page: https://twitter.com/njagnz/status/745022671755317248
But it turns out that as replies on here can be much longer, that it was really hard to follow the "in reply to" chain as lengthy replies, images and other things made it unreadable.
But it was really easy to read all of the replies, so we focused on those.

I assumed that was the intention but I'm not quite sure what purpose it serves. Being able to see the whole chain, particularly if it's very long, would be an easy way to read it.
It may sometimes end up convoluted where there are multiple replies but it's still easier than clicking on each comment to get to the next in the chain.
If you want to see the specific comment it's reply to then there is the option of clicking in reply to.
