Well, no it doesn't, because I also have a 'Reply to All' and a 'Reply to
Sender'.

On those rare occasions when I actually want to reply to the sender of a
ML message and not send it to the whole list, I use 'Reply to Sender', but
as it's an unusual enough occurance I know it needs an unusual action. To
be honest, it wouldn't bother me if 'Reply to Sender' in this case was a
menu item.
