There are _a lot_ more. Posting style is not only about quoting. In some
other groups it's also about the posting name, the use of emoticons and
many more things.

If you would know a bit more about Usenet, then you would see that every
hierarchy, often every single group has its own rules and conventions,
like any society. These rules are made by the regulars and often have
evolved over the years.
And it doesn't really matter what the single average user prefers. What
matters are the group's regulars, because they are the ones who spend
their own time to help others voluntarily and keep the group alive.
Remember: You should never bite the hand that feeds you.
EOT for me
